2014 Spring News
Welcome to our 2014 Spring Newsletter!
We have been very busy this winter with lots of installations at schools, nurseries, academies hospitals & a dental practice. We have worked directly with customers & also worked alongside many architects & contractors. Our most exciting installations from the previous few months include a wall mounted canopy with a colourful rainbow package at Ark Oval Primary Academy in London and two shelters and an entrance canopy at the Heritage Motor Centre in Warwickshire.
The spring weather is slowing making an appearance and we will soon be seeing daffodils and bluebells scattered across fields whilst our travels. Our Easter holiday installation gaps are filling up quickly; however there are still a few spaces left so please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like an Easter holiday installation.
Please find below an overview of our top stories from last few months which includes tips on serving food safely at your fundraising events & the launch of our exciting new product; The Blenheim Umbrella.
Kind Regards
Mark Wood
Managing Director
