Street Furniture At The Cornhill In London

Posted on 04/12/2018

Back in August, Street Furniture Direct were approached by a prestigious client on Cornhill, London; to conduct a site survey for a Cycle Storage facility 3 floors underground. After the initial survey and design sign off, it was finalised that a combination of Everest Double Decker and Snowdon Semi Vertical cycle stands would be used, along with a bespoke designed coat hanger bench. 

 Having just been installed this week and the client now being able to use the previously derelict area, the employees can safely and securely leave their bikes without fear and get changed in comfort. One of the most interesting parts of the job was being able to work in such close proximity to the vaults to the Bank of England and the Royal Exchange. A great area of London and a fantastic project to have been involved in.

Bailey Specialist Business Group announces the next phase in its growth plans

Posted on 26/06/2018

As part of the Bailey Specialist Business Group, Street Furniture Direct is involved with a group restructuring that will deliver greater efficiencies & improved lead times.

The relocation of our Stoke on Trent based manufacturing plant to our larger Burscough facility will simplify the Group into three customer-focused business units; Playgrounds, Street Furniture & Structural Canopies. This restructuring will create more cost-effective business units, both at the company’s HQ in Adlington, Cheshire and a modern manufacturing facility under one roof at Burscough, to cope with the increased demands and projected growth of the business in the next five years.

It follows a comprehensive review of our structure, processes and people, with a view to creating a much simpler, efficient and dynamic organisation with clearer accountabilities and greater productivity.

Group Chief Executive Ian Bailey said: "We have made significant progress in improving our day-to-day operations and strengthening our leadership team. The new streamlined and cohesive manufacturing organisation will enable us to deliver to an increasingly demanding and buoyant construction sector, where quality, service, lead times and competitiveness are pivotal to our future growth, allowing for further investment in the coming years".
