A functional and aesthetic facade
for an award-winning building
A vast regeneration
project for Lincoln City
Centre has resulted in
a modern and effective
transport hub for both
visitors and residents,
with a pedestrian plaza,
retail space and a bus
station.
The single largest element
of the project is the
1,000-space six-level
multi-storey car park.
The facade of the car park
has been created with
3,600 m2 of expanded
metal and 400 m2 of
perforated sheets, with the
Lincoln coat of arms and
fleur-de-lis reproduced
on to the perforated
panels by means of RMIG
ImagePerf technology.
The inspirational style
of the building and its
architectural merits have
resulted in the award for
Best New Car Park at the
British Parking Awards.

Celebrating 25 years of excellence in the UK
Improve your
family home,
Crocodile style.
Construction connector
manufacturer Simpson Strong-
Tie is celebrating 25 years in the
UK, helping people build safer,
stronger homes and structures.
Simpson launched its
European operations from
well-established beginnings in
America, where founder Barclay
Simpson created his first joist
hanger back in 1956. In 1998 a
purpose-built manufacturing
facility and head office opened
in Tamworth, and subsequent
acquisitions in the UK,
Germany, France and Denmark
have established Simpson as a
European industry leader.
In 2009 Simpsons’ UKAS
accredited European Testing
Laboratory opened, which now
conducts over 10,000 product
tests annually.
Managing Director Malcolm
Paulson says, “We believe that
if we invest in our people our
customers will reap the benefits.
