LAW firm Ward Hadaway’s Manchester office has won Raised Floor Solutions, a Skelmersdale-based flooring contractor, as a new client.
The company specialises in designing, supplying and installing composite steel decking, concrete slabs and access flooring on a wide range of construction projects across the UK.
Raised Floor Solutions has won work on schemes including an £80m retail and leisure development in Cheshire, the Welsh National Sailing and Events Centre in North Wales, a state of the art data centre in London and a £28m student complex in Lincoln.
Graham Hewitt, owner and managing director of Raised Floor Solutions, said: “Because our work takes us all over the country and across a range of different sectors, we needed our legal advisers to have the same kind of national coverage and industry experience. Ward Hadaway fits the bill on both counts as a firm with a strong national presence and cross-sector experience.”
Melanie Yeomans, corporate partner at Ward Hadaway, added: “The company’s specialist products and expertise are in demand on developments right across the UK so we look forward to working with the team at Raised Floor Solutions and using our knowledge and experience to help the company to continue to grow successfully.”
