November News
This month’s news starts with an apology. We keep forgetting to include on our web site the following important information and several of our regular customers keep reminding us!
ALL OF OUR ALUMINIUM AND BRONZE CASTINGS ARE MADE FROM 100% RECYCLED MATERIAL
Right, that’s that out of the way. On other fronts, we’ve been commissioned by Nuneaton & Bedworth council to replace all their existing fingerposts with new stainless columns and aluminium fingers. Stainless disc finials will carry the name of the street on which each fingerpost is located.
We’ve also been awarded two contracts to supply the signage for Stanley Park in Liverpool as part of a large HLF refurbishment adjacent to the new Liverpool FC stadium. We are to supply signposts, ‘Welcome’ signs, interpretation panels and ‘assistive way markers’ - bollards with tactile route information cast into the cap.
Our Tanat Foundry has completed two projects - the Brian Bailey sculpture for Coventry and a large compass for Crewe & Nantwich BC.
Patternmaking is now complete for the new Bedford Open Market project - a range of new covered market stalls designed and built by Leander. Here’s a snapshot of some of the rather elegant columns which we’ve started to cast.
