Weatherite Wins £100,000 Kitchen Contracts in Reading
Weatherite, the West Midlands based building services group, has completed a series of contracts involving the design and installation of kitchen extract systems for Reading Borough Council.The contracts worth over £100,000 were part of a major upgrading by the local authority of kitchen ventilation at 14 schools and three residential homes for elderly people.
We won the initial tenders on price but the follow up work resulted from our ability to deliver a quality product on time, says Mike Turton, sales director of Weatherite Building Services.
The agreement with De Kobra which has a factory at Opwijk in Belgium covers not only canopy designs but a complete kitchen ventilation package for the UK commercial sector.
This includes a distribution system which enables various utilities such as gas, electricity and water to be brought together in a single stainless steel fabricated unit.
WBS is part of the £30m Midlands based Weatherite group which specialises in the design and manufacture of packaged air conditioning equipment and air handling units.
More recently, the company has expanded its activities to cover other sectors of the building services market.
We now offer a single source choice to all members of the supply chain including project management, design, installation and commissioning facilities, explains Mr Turton.
This covers not only air conditioning equipment but also ventilation, fire protection, heating, water and control systems.
Other Weatherite products and services include control panels, electrical contracting, shopfronts and shutters, fire doors, rooflights and glazing systems.
