Currie & Brown joins £120m TfGM framework to drive greener travel across Greater Manchester

26 June 2025

Currie & Brown has been chosen for a key role in one of Transport for Greater Manchester’s largest infrastructure programmes in recent years. We’ll be managing projects that cut emissions, make walking and cycling easier, and connect people with better transport links. It’s all part of the region’s plan to level up and support the Mayor Andy Burnham’s vision for cleaner, better journeys.

Powering the Bee Network

We’re playing a key role in Greater Manchester’s bold plan to join up transport across the region. The Bee Network puts people first by making it easier to walk, cycle, wheel or take public transport. That means everyday journeys will be cleaner, healthier and simpler.

Over the next four years, the framework will roll out transport upgrades across all ten boroughs. The aim is to reduce car use, ease congestion, and lower emissions. We will support TfGM’s long-term goals under the Greater Manchester Clean Air Plan.

Delivering certainty, adding value

We’ll lead Project and Programme Management across the framework. We’ll make sure every project runs on time, stays on budget and meets the highest standards. With our strong track record in the UK public sector, we give clients the confidence to plan well and act fast.

Supporting local skills and supply chains

We’ll work with SME consultancy Walker Sime to deliver this programme. It’s a partnership that shows our commitment to local talent and deep regional knowledge. This framework puts local people first, creating jobs, building skills and supporting Greater Manchester’s long-term economic strength.

This work goes beyond regional investment. It sets a national example for how public infrastructure can improve lives. We’re proud to help create a future with cleaner air, greener travel and better connected communities.
