Construction arm of property giant Brookfield rebrands

Contractor Brookfield Multiplex is dropping Brookfield from its name to trade as just Multiplex.

The firm - which is building a raft of major UK schemes, including 22 Bishopsgate, - will remain part of Canada-based property giant Brookfield.

A Brookfield spokesperson said: 鈥淭his is a time for us to rebrand and to ensure our own unique construction identity both within the Brookfield group and with our external stakeholders as a global construction business.

鈥淎side from our name and logo changing, it鈥檚 business as usual. There are no operational or organisational changes being made.鈥

In results for the 2015 calendar year, Multiplex鈥檚 UK arm more than doubled revenue to 拢620m, up from 拢284m the previous year, while pre-tax profit quadrupled to 拢21.9m, up from 拢5.4m.

Multiplex is also building a 拢150m hospital for sick children in Edinburgh (pictured), .
