CARDINAL
Creating World Class Interiors for Over 30 Years
DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE
As the Covid restrictions continue to ease , businesses are regaining their confidence and having a much more positive outlook . For Bradfordbased contractor Cardinal , the future is looking particularly bright thanks to a growing order book .
Cardinal is pushing ahead with a range of projects in a number of different sectors , particularly retail , which is really beginning to pick up now that the restrictions have eased . In terms of more specialised work , the company is moving along with a number of listed building schemes , including a million-pound project to replace the roof on a listed building in the centre of Harrogate and an extension at a Manor in Pembrokeshire , as well as number of Ministry of Defence projects .
Healthcare is another significant sector for Cardinal and it has delivered a number of centres for Covid testing and vaccinations as well as completing a large number of schemes for the NHS . It also
designed and installed a large vaccination centre for the University of Leeds to an extremely tight timescale , as Mr Brearey outlines : “ From starting the design through to manufacture and installation took just two weeks , but we were able to deliver above the standard that was expected by the University . It ’ s always great to be able to help put with projects like this and be able to give something back to the NHS .”
It ’ s clear that Cardinal is seeing a growing number of opportunities across the board , which is enabling the company to put the comprehensive skillset of its highly trained workforce to full use . “ We ’ re tendering for a lot of work at the moment across a multitude of sectors and they are all appearing to be much more positive in their outlook . The last year or so has been extremely challenging but it has given us the chance , as a board of directors , to focus strategically on where we want the business to go and what work streams we want to continue with .
