Furniture and fit-out firm lands record-breaking contract

Mansfield-based Deanestor, the furniture and fit-out firm, has been awarded its largest ever contract in the education sector.

The £3m project is for the manufacture and supply of furniture, fittings and equipment for the new £55m Inverurie Community Campus – one of the largest school construction projects in Scotland.

The contract is Deanestor’s third school project for principal contractors, Robertson Construction.

Due for completion early in 2020, the project for Aberdeenshire Council is being delivered by community infrastructure company hub North Scotland and will accommodate 1,600 pupils.

William Tonkinson, managing director of Deanestor, said: “We are delighted to be working on such an exciting and much-needed community scheme. The scale and complexity of the campus and the range of facilities we are fitting out demonstrates our capabilities and expertise in furniture manufacturing, procurement and project management. Our designers are working closely with the design and construction team to implement the contemporary theme for the multi-purpose spaces and to deliver a really inspirational and innovative environment for learning and teaching.”
