Major facelift for cosmetics firm

THE Hospital Group, the Yorkshire-based cosmetic surgery provider, has completed a £430,000 facelift of its Leeds and Sheffield surgeries.

The investment sees the group, which has 19 branches across the UK, open a new surgery in Sheffield as its business continues to expand.

Its Leeds operation has also undergone a re-model.

The complete design and works was carried out by fellow Yorkshire firm Absolute Contract Interiors,

The Harrogate-based interiors specialist, which was founded in 2006 and has six staff and a turnover of around £2m, is also successfully bucking the economic downturn.

Managing director Phil Brown said: “We are delighted to have been able to help The Hospital Group to change its look and are hoping to work with them on again future projects.

“Our business is really going from strength to strength, despite the current economic situation.  We are finding that a lot of other businesses are choosing to upgrade and refurbish existing offices and premises rather than take the more costly option of purchasing or renting out new premises.”

The Hospital Group clinic director Andy Cooper said: “Absolute has been brilliant for us. Its attention to detail, superb design and all-encompassing project management skills are second to none.

“For me they not only understood our vision for the clinics but presented this with their unique flare for design to make our vision even better.”
