On award of the project, Ray O’Sullivan, director at mac-group, said: “intu Merry Hill is a prime retail destination for the region and we’re delighted to have been appointed for the first time by intu to transform the exterior of the shopping centre. It promises to be an extremely impressive finish, with discreet lighting hidden within the cladding, which will create a superb visual display, especially at night.”

Nick Round, regional centre director at intu Merry Hill, said: “The £12m renovation is just one of the ways we’re planning to give back to our shoppers. Our long-term plan is to attract even more great brands to our mall and this redevelopment is just one of the ways we can achieve that.”
