FORREST CONTRACTS - BLAKEY MOOR TERRACE

Since forming in 1986 , Forrest Joinery & Construction Contracts has built its enviable reputation on quality with their persistent pursuit of excellence on every contract undertaken .
Forrest ’ s team of highly skilled bench joiners produce modern and traditional manufactured joinery from their well-equipped manufacturing facility . Modern educational furniture or traditional stairs , bars or doors , quality is the common factor .
Whilst their reputation has grown , so has the list of prestigious clients and projects .
Forrest Contracts Ltd are currently working on transforming an important part of Blackburn ’ s ‘ cultural quarter ’ - Blakey Moor Terrace .
For the last 100 years , the building has stood opposite the grand King George ’ s Hall - and for many decades before that too .
Dating back to the 1800s , and with a variety of uses over the years , the building had sadly started to show its age in recent years , lying largely empty and slowly falling into serious disrepair .
But now , as part of the council ’ s £ 3m Townscape Heritage project with the National Lottery Heritage Fund , work has started that will see new life breathed into the building .
