A traditional 'topping out' ceremony has taken place at two new office buildings which are set to "change the face" of Sunderland city centre.
Maker and Faber, two new offices on Riverside Sunderland, will create space for professional firms and retailers on the ground floor, with the steel frames now being fully erected. Part of Riverside Sunderland - a mixed-use urban quarter that is extending the footprint of the city centre - the buildings are new additions to the city that will attract businesses offering thousands of new jobs when they open their doors next year.
Legal & General chief executive, Sir Nigel Wilson, made his way to the top of Maker for the ceremony on Wednesday morning, alongside Sir Andrew McAlpine, Landid MD James Silver, and the chief executive of Sunderland City Council, Patrick Melia.
