Carillion in £123m deal over Ontario station

Wolverhampton-based construction group Carillion has won a £123 million deal to build a subway station in the Canadian city of Ontario. The firm has already revamped one of the city's main stations.

The Toronto Transit Commission has now given it the job of building the Vaughan Corporate Centre Station, part of a £1.7 billion subway extension project. It follows Carillion's success winning a £360 million construction management contract to revamp Toronto's Union Station.

Carillion chief executive, John McDonough, said today: "We are delighted to have been awarded this major new contract, which reflects the reputation of Carillion Canada for quality and delivery. We look forward to working with the Toronto Transit Commission to deliver this important new hub."

Carillion employs 800 people at its HQ in Wolverhampton, at a tower block in Birch Street and at Staffordshire House overlooking Ring Road St Marks.
