Co-Op Live Arena

As part of the development of Manchester's landmark Co-op Live Arena, Gariff delivered a £4.2 million package of bespoke joinery and architectural metalwork. Working alongside main contractor BAM, the team manufactured and installed a wide range of specialist elements, including bespoke bars, gantries, kitchenettes, drinks shelves, banquette seating and architectural metalwork, contributing to the venue's extensive hospitality and entertainment spaces.

With substantial volumes of bespoke joinery required across the arena, careful planning and logistical coordination were essential. Gariff utilised extensive off-site manufacturing to maintain production efficiency, while managing storage and deliveries to ensure materials arrived on-site precisely when needed. This just-in-time approach enabled seamless installation, minimised disruption to other trades and helped maintain progress throughout the demanding construction programme.
