There is definitely a sense of growth and recovery in the construction industry across the UK and Ireland with The Guardian even describing the industry in party mood at the close of 2015 (theguardian.com/business/). We have seen the evidence for ourselves with a precast concrete coping demand increase amongst other things.
Precast Concrete Coping and More
It’s obviously not the most scientific method with which to gauge construction industry sentiment – and there are plenty of statistics available on the matter here theconstructionindex.co.uk/news/ but we have seen sufficient precast concrete coping demand increase on top of increased orders on other product lines to warrant extending our logistics and technical sales office space as well as production facilities.
It’s not surprising, really; we have possibly the widest ranges of precast concrete coping and window sills in Europe with an incredible variety that we’ve developed over the last 50 years of manufacturing precast concrete components.
In the past few months alone we have added another logistics team member as well as two technical sales engineers to cope with the increasing demand for various steel and precast concrete components, such as lintels, window sills, padstones, kerbs and gullies, service boxes as well as precast concrete coping.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s great to see this level of growth, but it was starting to feel a little cramped here at KPC HQ, so… we broke into available adjacent workspace are currently refurbishing it to extend our available office space to support the increased output from the production facilities.
We don’t spend money without just cause here at KPC, but as with investment in plant and production facilities, this is also an investment that will benefit both us and our customers, allowing us to cope adequately with increased demand so that we can grow along with our customers.
