RN Wooler and Co will work with traders on completing the fresh food and non-food floors of the Darley Street Market scheme.
Drawings based on the individual traders’ requirements will be produced first, prior to work beginning onsite.
The stalls will be on the middle and lower floors of the market.
Wooler carried out refurbishment work at Keighley Market several years ago, and has been involved in the transformation of the former Odeon building into Bradford Live.
The new Darley Street Market building has three trading floors – plus a space for live music, arts and entertainment, including a big screen.
Below a market square is a large underground area for trader deliveries, additional storage and waste handling and recycling.
Councillor Alex Ross-Shaw – Bradford Council’s executive member for regeneration, planning and transport – says: “We are delighted to announce that we have appointed local firm RN Wooler and Co Ltd to work with traders on the creation of the stalls on the middle and lower floors of the market development, based on their requirements.
“The company did an amazing job on Bradford Live and it’s great to have them involved in another of our flagship regeneration projects.
“The new market will be a real game changer for the city centre, providing a much-needed connection between the improvement work which has taken place at the top of town in the North Parade area and the new public spaces and traffic-free areas at the lower end of town, which make it easier and safer for pedestrians. The new Darley Street Market fits into our plans for City Village, which will create a healthy, sustainable and community-friendly neighbourhood – with 1,000 homes, three community parks, and retail and office space.”
Gareth Wooler, director at RN Wooler and Co Ltd, says: “We are thrilled to be appointed to work on the fit-out of the new Darley Street Market.
“We are a Bradford district business based in Keighley, so it is fantastic to be working on such an incredible building and with local traders to produce market stalls that meet their requirements, which will also be serving local people and visitors to the district.”
