Nick and Rob have been out in Northern Ireland for a pre-start meeting on a new project. These early conversations are always important as they give everyone the chance to get aligned, understand the project requirements, and make sure the right approach is in place before work begins. For us, that’s where a strong project starts, working closely with the client from day one.
Stay tuned to learn more about this project.

Rowan View was designed to be more than a secure mental health unit. It was built to support recovery, dignity and independence, creating a therapeutic environment for people with mental health needs and learning disabilities.
Working alongside Kier Group and IBI Group, we helped specify and deliver secure window and façade solutions that supported the wider vision for the site. Across the facility, the focus was clear: safety, security, natural light, ventilation and a modern environment that feels considered rather than clinical.
Completed in November 2020, the £53m Rowan View facility marked an important step forward in medium secure mental health care. Swipe through to learn more about this project.
Last week at the Design in Mental Health 2026 expo, we asked the team to describe the Polar stand in three words.
A simple question, but a good reminder of what we wanted the space to feel and look like.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by Stand 505.

We are all set and ready for the Design in Mental Health 2026 expo taking place at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
Come view our product range and speak to us about our secure, anti-ligature window systems and how we support safer environments for patients, staff, and the people who use these spaces every day. You’ll find us on Stand 505.
As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to a close, we’re resharing a short clip from Nick Sutton, reflecting on where his journey in mental health environments began.
For Nick, that first experience was not simple. It was eye-opening, difficult and honest. But it also shaped the way he saw the role of safer, more considered environments in supporting both service users and staff.
This full video is a reminder of why the work matters, not just from a design or construction point of view, but from the perspective of someone who has seen first-hand how the right environment can help reduce risk, support recovery and give staff the space to focus on the individual.

The purpose-built hospital in Leigh provides inpatient services for adults with mental health needs, as well as support for people living with dementia and memory loss.
We worked on the project alongside Kier Group, helping to deliver secure systems for an environment where privacy, dignity and wellbeing all matter. With single en-suite bedrooms, communal living areas and activity rooms, Atherleigh Park was created to give service users space to recover in a setting that feels safe, considered and supportive.
A project we’re proud to have played a part in.

Working alongside R H Irving Construction Ltd, Pleydell Smithyman, and the wider project team, we helped deliver the architectural glazing for this local commercial project for Klondyke.
Our scope included the design, manufacture, and installation of curtain walling arches, top hung windows, external automatic sliding doors, and internal automatic sliding doors.
The finished centre now provides 3,500sqm of retail space, including homewares, garden furniture, tools, pet care, clothing, crafts, and a 300-seater restaurant with an in-house bakery.
A strong local project, and one we’re proud to have been part of.
We all deal with stress in different ways and in support of stress awareness month, the team took some time to share how they manage it and what helps them switch off outside of work.

We might not have won last night, but being nominated for the BUSINESSiQ North East Awards is still a great achievement for the team. It reflects the work that goes on behind the scenes every day.
Also worth noting… the team scrubbed up pretty well for the occasion.
