LDG Contracts, one of the North West’s largest window system design, fabrication and installation companies, and part of The LDG Group, has just announced the completion a challenging aluminium glazing project for a prestigious new Business Enterprise Centre in Blackpool.
The new Business Enterprise Centre is located on one of the main arterial routes leading into the busy promenade area in Blackpool and is visible to thousands of commuters, day trippers and holiday makers every day.
The prestigious site was used for many years as a public swimming pool and also contained retail units but changing customer and business needs made the existing utilisation less viable. These buildings have now been demolished to make way for the new build project and The Business Enterprise Centre will now accommodate local businesses and will be an important addition to the local economy. The £2.8M contract has been commissioned by Blackpool Council and its innovative design and features will be a credit to the busy seaside resort.
Working directly for the Main Contractor, Parkinson’s Building Contractors, LDG Contracts were responsible for the manufacture and installation of the specialist high performance structurally faceted screens; curtain walling, tilt and turn windows and automatic entrance doors. This stunning new building incorporates many of the different specialised products that LDG contracts manufacture and install on a regular basis for similar commercial projects through the North West of England and beyond.
“We are proud to be associated with this kind of commercial contract and to be working directly with Parkinson’s Building Contractors” states Bill Forsyth, managing director. “This is another example of LDG working closely with Architects and main contractors to ensure we understand and deliver their objectives”
continues Bill. Vivienne Brunskill, joint managing director said
“Our growing portfolio demonstrates our ability to deliver a range of solutions, both retail and commercial, and enables our customers to have confidence in LDG and the project. Contracts of this kind are now a large part of our business and there is an ever increasing demand for these specialised products. We continue to concentrate on quality and training in order to achieve such high standards in the commercial industry and to produce a wide range of both aluminium and uPVC products”.
Both Bill and Vivienne are keen to praise the whole team,
“LDG Contracts could not have achieved the high standard of finish if it were not for the expertise and professional attitude of the staff we have working for us”.
