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.

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.”

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.”
