This site, which was formally the home of a builder’s merchants, is situated on the Sheffield outer ring road, directly opposite Sheffield Arena, an internationally recognised concerts/sports venue. The content of the scheme, which was negotiated and agreed with Sheffield City Council, was a development incorporating 2 Office units, and a ‘Drive-thru’ fast food restaurant.
Located on the Old Basingstoke Road only minutes from the M4 this site was put together from an abandoned Yugo car distributorship and an accident repair garage, both held in unique ownerships. The sites were derelict, and we worked up an acceptable plan with Reading Council to develop a 4,700m2 timber merchants on just over 0.5 hectare.
A former listed tram shed in the centre of Guiseley, Leeds, used as a DIY store we looked for opportunities to maximise value. We submitted a draft proposal for a mixed-use redevelopment incorporating a 27,000sq.ft Health and Fitness premises and 19 apartments.
The premises now trade successfully as a Nuffield Health and Fitness centre, and all the residential units were sold and fully occupied. The scheme received praise from several parties for its innovative use of a former listed building and subsequently received an award from The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

This is a 10,000m2 DIY store with a 200m2 garden centre and 200m2 builders merchant yard. It was built on a timber merchant’s distribution depot.

Planning permission was also required for the trade counter operating within the building.

After an extensive search of the locality with limited options we converted a 10,000m2 aircraft hangar famous for the being the home of Concorde into a timber merchant and engineered products factory. It required extensive discussions with Bristol City Council and BAe, the Landlord, to produce an access solution that worked for all. An innovative solution to provide access through the 20m high hangar doors gave access to offices, storage and the factory.
