THE CONTRACTOR behind the building of Sir Frederick Gibberd College made losses of more than £20m in just 18 months, it has emerged reports Construction Enquirer.

A document filed with Companies House in April 2022 revealed that Caledonian Modular, the offsite construction specialist was £11.2m in the red in the year to 31 March 2021 and made a further deficit of £10.7m in the following six months.
