A £2.1m contract to build a classroom block and refectory at a Hampshire sixth-form college is ensuring Southampton-based construction company Benson hits a £30m turnover this year.

The Farnborough College block features a complex stained glass window design intertwining words from unnatural bedfellows William Blake - the mystic 18th century poet and artist - and the Rolling Stones rock group.

The innovative window was designed by student Lorna Robertson.

Benson, a division of the £150m turnover Benson Group, has also negotiated to build another £1.5m block at the college.
