Griffiths-McGee wins Ascot race

Griffiths-McGee has won the contract for the demolition of the old grandstand at
Ascot racecourse.
Phase one work in the paddock area has already started and demolition of the main grandstand began this week, immediately after the final race meeting on Sunday.
The contract is worth about £1.5m and is scheduled for completion in 10 weeks. In addition, there will be a six to seven-week period for foundation work in association with the new multi-million pound Ascot redevelopment.
The company was also sponsor for the last race on the
Sunday card.
Laing O'Rourke has the shell and core contract for the new grandstand that forms the centrepiece of the £180m redevelopment of the racecourse.
