Contractor completes work on £10m aerospace factory
DERBY contractor GF Tomlinson has completed work on a new £10 million light manufacturing facility in Mansfield.
The two-storey building in Hamilton Way, on the Oakham Business Park, has been built for an aerospace manufacturer which is already based in the East Midlands.
The 80,000 sq ft steel frame building has insulated cladding on the walls and roof and will provide a production facility and headquarters comprising a ground floor with workshop, office, meeting spaces and staff facilities and a basement for storage.
Next door is a service yard with two artic loading bays and car parking over three levels for 139 cars.
GF Tomlinson also carried out £3 million of M&E works, and worked alongside project manager and principal designer Jackson Design Associates and Webb Gray Architects – firms the contractor has worked with previously on office and industrial schemes elsewhere in Mansfield and in Lichfield.
Chris Flint, managing director of GF Tomlinson, said: “We are very pleased to have completed construction works for this impressive industrial facility in Mansfield, which has been designed to meet the end user’s growing manufacturing ambitions, storage and office requirements.
“It is a pleasure to have worked once again with Jackson Design Associates and Webb Gray Architects – two local businesses which each have a wealth of experience in the Midlands region and in this sector.”
David Grieves, senior project manager at Jackson Design Associates, said: “It’s great to see this project completed.
“The collaborative working relationship with GF Tomlinson helped overcome challenges along the journey, resulting in a successful project delivery.
“The client can now enjoy the impressive internal space for what they do best.”
GF Tomlinson, which has offices in Derbyshire and Birmingham, works in sectors including industrial, education, retail, healthcare, leisure, commercial and residential.
