Editor’s Choice Cistermiser Keraflo proud to be ‘Made in Britain’ It’s safety first for women in industry Richard Burbidge welcomes residents at Watson Homes Washroom and water efficiency specialist Cistermiser Keraflo has joined industry body Made in Britain, underlining the company’s credentials as the leading UK manufacturer in its sector. Dr. Martens, iconic British footwear brand, is bucking the trend for women in industry, with the launch of its unique women’s industrial collection, offering female workers a choice of boots, without needing to compromise on safety. Watson Homes prides itself on developing homes that are designed for living and made for life. As part of the Willows and Patricroft projects, Watson Homes selected Richard Burbidge’s Fusion Outdoor Juliette Balconies to provide the perfect balance between practicality and aesthetics. As a member of the national network, the company is able to carry the number one marque of British manufacturing on its products and marketing literature. David Meacock, Technical Director for Cistermiser Keraflo, said: “In our industry relatively few products are made in the UK. But UK production is something we are committed to. “We have a proud heritage of over 35 years’ service to the construction industry, bringing a host of innovative products to the market. As a Made in Britain member we are able to celebrate that and our customers can clearly see we are a British company, proudly supporting UK manufacturing.” In recent years, more women have decided to embark on careers within typically male dominated industries such as construction, engineering, manufacturing and trade. However, despite being exposed to the same risks, they are rarely supported by the Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) available. The choice for women working within hazardous environments has famously been limited, resulting in women wearing safety footwear that has not been specifically designed with them in mind. Available in UK sizes 3-9, the collection is available to buy online: http://www. drmartens.com/uk/c/industrial-womens The Willows development is located on the site of the former Salford Reds rugby league ground. The development comprises of 78 new homes, 4 new bungalows and 21 apartments.  The development has helped to breathe life back into the Weaste area, by bringing to life a development site that has been empty for a number of years. Mike Watson, for Watson Homes said: “The Willows development has contributed positively to the ongoing regeneration and development of the Weaste area and we are really proud of both projects.” www.richardburbidge.co.uk www.cistermiser.co.uk A wine cellar and a galleried dining room included in renovation of Victorian property SDA Build London was briefed to bring more light into the house, remove many of the doo rs, take out the first floor to create a stunning, show-stopping, galleried dining room bathed in natural light – and create a temperature-controlled cellar to house 2,500 bottles of wine. Owner Melinda Swann says working with SDA Build London brought home to her the importance of choosing the right building firm. “SDA proved they could work as a team in harmony with an array of experts such as architects, energy and lighting consultants. They were able to deliver a high spec product at every turn, finding solutions to problems and alternative ideas when there were issues. And they came in on budget and finished on time.” Book a free refurbishment consultation with Sammy at SDA on 020 8191 7595, [email protected] or via https://www.sdabuildlondon.co.uk/ Tile Supply Solutions Leaders in Cable Safety We import large format tiles, standard tiles and marble and limestone to order, unlike most tile shops, we are not committed to any particular factory or quarry so we can find and supply whatever tile or stone our clients are looking for.
