The North Terminal will also be upgraded as part of the agreement, which is worth up to £10m to the consultants.

Gatwick could spend between £3m – £20m on architects over the next three years, according to industry experts.

Some of the architectural suppliers are Atkins, HOK, Jacobs, Morgan Sindall Professional Services and Pascal & Watson.
