Surfacing company secures six-figure contract with Leicester City Council

A South Leicestershire surfacing company has secured a £600,000 contract with Leicester City Council to revamp the city’s pavements.

HMS Decorative Surfacing has been awarded a two-year deal to install and maintain decorative resin-bound finishes across footpaths, open spaces, cycle lanes, tree pits and greenspace landscaping as part of the city’s major highways improvement scheme.

The win is set to boost the North Kilworth company’s profits by 5%.

Martin Fletcher, Leicester City Council Director of Highways said: “It is important that our highway improvement projects are finished to the highest standard and help create safe and attractive spaces.

“HMS Decorative Surfacing has real expertise in resin-bound surfacing and working with them under his new contract will ensure projects are finished to the highest standard. We look forward to seeing the impact this will have on our city centre.”

Laura Wilson, director at HMS Decorative Surfacing said: “We are delighted to be working with Leicester City Council to transform our local city centre. As a Leicestershire-based business, the accessibility and appeal of the area is important to us, so we are proud to be making improvements that will make a real difference to the tourism and business investment here.

“We take care to provide safe, sustainable and attractive spaces for the public, using the very best materials, and are committed to working closely with Leicester CityCouncil over the coming years on these exciting regenerative projects.”
