Decorating company completes contract for £62m student accommodation project

Henley-in-Arden based commercial decoration company Harvey UK has completed a contract decorating and finishing a £62m student accommodation project on the Warwick University campus.

The Cryfield Village development will provide more than 800 extra student rooms on campus, made up of townhouse-style apartments and studios.

The development also includes a central hub with a theatre, shops and cinema.

Harvey UK has been carrying out all of the painting, decorating and finishing work on the apartments which are being built by Kier Central.

Harvey UK managing director Tony Harvey said: “Cryfield village is probably one of the most colourful projects we have worked on, with apartments, stairwells and facilities painted in some very bright colours. The results are stunning, as well as providing a modern and attractive university home for the students.

“This work was carried out under strict COVID-safe working and social distancing practices, but was still finished on schedule.”

Established in 1966, Harvey UK has a portfolio of blue-chip client projects including JLR, Muller, the NHS, Kier, Balfour Beatty, Skanska, Lendlease and the Royal Air Force.
