🏌️Phase 1 of Restoring Blackburn's iconic Cotton Exchange is in full swing! 🏌️ We are delighted to announce that we have been project managing the Phase 1 restoration of Blackburn’s historic Grade-II listed former Cotton Exchange, in partnership with our client Re:Source Charity. This project is the first step of many in breathing new life into a landmark that holds deep significance for the local community. The design of the first phase of works is now complete, of which the highlight is the installation of a new statement staircase in the entrance drum (render below)! We’re proud to play a key role in preserving its heritage while paving the way for future opportunities and to turn it back into a destination for the people of Blackburn. The next step is to commence the work onsite, so stay tuned for updates as we and the project team bring this vision to life! #Heritage #ProjectManagement #ConserveAndCreate Client: Re:Source Charity Project Manager: Josh Chana and Ryan Thorpe, Chana Projects Architect: Grant Prescott and Emma-Jane Dawson, Buttress MEP Engineer: Philip Grice, Parker Wilson Consulting Structural Engineer: Lee Kierans, Booth King Partnership Ltd Cost Consultants: Mark Newton and Brendan Kilkenny, Appleyard & Trew LLP

🎉 We did it! 🎉 Chana Projects’ Movember campaign has officially raised an incredible £1,525 to support men’s health! 🙌 We smashed out £1,000 target, and this achievement is a testament to the power of community, generosity, and a shared commitment to making a difference.   Throughout November, we changed our logo and grew Mos for a cause that matters—shining a light on men’s mental health, suicide prevention, and tackling prostate and testicular cancer. Thanks to your amazing support, we’ve helped fuel Movember’s mission to change the face of men’s health.   A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who donated, shared, and cheered us on. Your contributions are making a tangible impact, and we couldn’t have done this without you! But the journey doesn’t end here. There’s still time to join the fight for men’s health.

🎉 New Hospital Department formally opened! 🎉 We were delighted to attend the formal opening of the new Nuclear Medicine Department at Royal Brompton Hospital last week. The event, ‘Unveiling the Future of Nuclear Medicine Imaging’, presented the significant new clinical opportunities following the refurbishment of the department to install a new Gamma Camera. This camera is the first of its kind in London, and will be the only one in Europe dedicated to its research specialism, however, it doesn’t only create exciting new clinical opportunities, but it also improves patient throughput as well as the overall patient experience. Delivered on time and under budget, this was a challenging project completed to a very high standard, and has been an all round success. We were also extremely grateful to the Clinical Team for highlighting the impact that our late Project Director, John Carminati had on the project. It was touching to have his family in attendance to witness his impact on the new department and see the unveiling of a commemorative plaque in his memory. Thanks to our client, project team members, and contractor, in addition to the wider stakeholders for supporting the delivery of this important project.

🎉 Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery is Open! 🔓 It was amazing to be invited to attend the reopening of Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery earlier this week, witnessing firsthand a wonderful celebration of the city, its story, and the museum itself. BMAG means so much to the people of #Birmingham, and hearing stories of its impact on previous generations brought renewed excitement for the future as it tells and creates new stories. The new ‘Made in Birmingham’ exhibit in the iconic Industrial Gallery is particularly impressive, and definitely a must visit. We would like to say a massive congratulations to the entire Birmingham Museums Trust team and its partners who contributed to getting this project over the line, and for letting us play a small part of the journey as project managers for the first phase. ⬇️ More information on the project team below.
