We have moved!
The recent move to the new premises on the western outskirts of
Leicester has enabled us to increase our capabilities and facilities
by the creation of our new, state of the art head office and factory
at Scudamore Road as a showcase building demonstrating the skills
of our Roofing, Glazing and Glass Products Divisions. We have combined
pre-weathered zinc cladding and the latest glass curtain walling
system to create a specticular facade to the building which is based
on the original typical 1970's industrial construction.
Our initial move plans were based on a 12 month relocation project,
i.e. the time from when we had access to the new site to the relocation
date. However, the combination of protracted negotiations, together
with a scarcity of suitable new sites, has meant that we have had
to compress the project into a 9 month timescale during which time
we have had to design the changes to the site, obtain planning permission,
complete a 16 week build programme and install new equipment in
certain departments, all in time to ensure that we vacate the Freeschool
Lane site on or before 31st May 2005.
This wouldn't have happened without the commitment, hard work and
team spirit showed by all employee's involved in each aspect of
the project. All of these efforts were, of course, in addition to
their 'day jobs'. It is a tremendous achievement by the Norman &
Underwood Team.
As you will see from the above photograph, and when you next visit
us, the finished building is an excellent showcase of the products,
services, skills and expertise of Norman & Underwood - something
of which we are very proud.
