Boyes Rees Architects has won a 拢3.5m contract to design a new Royal Mail delivery office and a Territorial Army cadet centre in Grays, Essex.

Niall Lindsay, chief executive of the Thurrock Thames Gateway Development Corporation, said: 鈥淭he relocation of these twoorganisationsforms an integral part in the plan to deliver a much needed new community hospital to the population of Thurrock.鈥�

The project is due to complete by July 2011.
