Jones Lang Laselle, Ashton-under-Lyne

Our brief

This site had been vacated in haste by a chain of Wholesale Fresh Flower suppliers and we took ownership of the building with the vast majority of fixtures and fittings still in situ. not to mention the 3m tall Walk-in Fridge Chiller set in the centre of the Warehouse that also employed 5” chill retaining walls!

The Result

To observe the original state of this building prior to Jennor UK commencing our works to how it was left upon completion is nothing short of breathtaking. We were faced with a momentous Strip-out before we could start work and left the Unit ready for immediate occupation, whilst shaving two weeks from our allotted Program!
