Harrow Green has been appointed by Chetham’s School of Music in Manchester city centre, to relocate the furniture, storage and resource materials from the old school premises to the new £31m, seven-storey school building.

This project is the latest in a number of school moves undertaken by Harrow Green in the north-west with a combined value in excess of £350,000.

The new facility, which features performance spaces, ensemble rooms, an outreach centre, 50 music teaching rooms, 62 practice rooms, a music technology centre and academic classrooms, is linked to the original Chetham’s site by a footbridge.

Chetham's is the largest specialist music school in the UK and the only one based in the North of England. It shares its Manchester home with the Bridgewater Hall, Hallé and BBC Philharmonic orchestras and the Royal Northern College of Music.

Claire Moreland, Head of Chetham’s School of Music, said: “Harrow Green provided a courteous and professional service from the outset. The consultation and planning process was most efficient, resulting in a trouble-free relocation.  The Supervisor responsible for the actual move, together with his team, were smart, well-organised and proficient. We would like to thank Harrow Green for their service at such an exciting time for Chetham’s School of Music.”

Karl Crompton, Commercial Consultant, Harrow Green, said: “We are very pleased to have this opportunity to work with Chetham's School of Music and wish them every success in their new building. Harrow Green has built considerable expertise in school moves and this is reflected in the number of projects to which we’ve been appointed.”
