BOUND SURFACING
YRC RESIN DRIVES OF
DISTINCTION
COMPLETES ITS LARGEST INSTALLATION
AT GRANTLEY HALL HOTEL AND SPA
A Harrogate-based resin driveway
company has completed a resin
bound installation contract at one of
the country’s newest luxury hotels
and spa retreats.
YRC Resin Drives of Distinction was
commissioned by Grantley Hall &
Spa to lay a new resin surface to its
courtyard and front car park.
YRC’s Resiflex bound gravel is
designed to be installed on a variety
of finishes. The benefits of which
include a natural long-lasting
appearance which is permeable and
provides a smooth finish, is naturally
anti-slip and low maintenance.
A wide range of colours are
available, including “Devonshire”,
the choice of Grantley Hall.
The hotel, near Ripon, opened last
year following a £70 million, four-
year transformation of the former
country home and one-time West
Riding County Council adult training
centre, into a boutique five star
47-bedroom hotel. Mark Kennedy said: “Grantley Hall
has rightly taken its place as one of
the most luxurious hotels and spas
in the country, and I’m delighted
that YRC has played its part in this
impressive project.
For its part, YRC - which launched
in 2007 by Mark Kennedy - laid
its Resiflex bound gravel to the
prominent areas in front of the
hotel’s main entrance. “The stone aggregate and resin are
‘bound together’ using a specialist
mechanical mixer which wraps the
resin around the stone. It’s then
installed on to the surface by hand

by our directly employed, trained,
installation technicians which
ensures that we facilitate the control
and quality.
“It was a great project for YRC to
be involved in and gave us the
opportunity to show case perfectly
the quality of our workmanship.”
Richard Sykes, Managing Director at
Grantley Hall, said: “The customer
experience begins with their
arrival at Grantley Hall and first
appearances very much count. We
are delighted with the work of YRC
and the courtyard and carpark look
superb.”
