BBC's New Salford HQ Hit by a Catalogue of Errors

The BBC has spent over £40million designing and fitting out its new £200million headquarters in Manchester but it has been hit by more than 500 embarrassing errors.

The £600million MediaCity complex at Bridge House, Dock House and Quay House in Salford recently become the new HQ for the British Broadcasting Corporation however it has received a catalogue of complaints including faulty electrics, broken lifts and smashed windows.

Bosses have forked out millions of pounds on expensive equipment for the state-of-the-art facility; £74.8 million on technology and £11.3million on surveyors. The offices are being rented out for on average £10million a year but staff and visitors have reported a number of problems and the majority have been in relation to the plumbing and electrics.

Incidents include staff being trapped in lifts just a fortnight after the building opening, a glass panel in the reception breaking loose and crashing to the floor, and a fire door breaching strict safety regulations by getting jammed. Further reports claim that there have been numerous power cuts, water dripping from the lights, and a fire sprinkler hanging from the ceiling.

The BBC has said that when taking occupancy of a new building that it is inevitable there will be repairs and snags that need attention. However, these errors could have easily been avoided if the public service broadcaster had shopped at Electric Point- one of the largest electrical wholesalers in the UK and Ireland.
