Hawthorns Installation Business Going from Strength to Strength
Leicestershire based Hawthorns has announced that it has more than doubled its revenue from permanent installations to £1+ million, over the last 12 months. In addition to large church and theatre installations, Hawthorns have been successful in securing contracts for the government initiative of City Academies.
Having already undertaken the installations of lighting/sound and other theatre equipment at Lambeth and Northampton Academies, it has just completed the Marlow Academy and is currently working at the Reading and Paddington Academies. They are due to start schemes at a further three Academies in the New Year.
Tony Blair announced last week that the government is to double its initiative to 400 Academies by the end of the decade which, given their growing reputation in Academy circles, sounds like potentially good news for Hawthorns.
Tracey Hughes, a consultant to one of the key suppliers on the Academy build programme said: ”We have worked with Hawthorns on two Academy builds and now with further in the pipeline, I can honestly say that they are a pleasure to work with, providing both a cost-effective solution and the highest level of professionalism in the services they provide.”
Mark Ridler of BDP Lighting, theatre consultant for the Marlow Academy installation said: “Hawthorns did a great job for me at Marlow; I look forward to the opportunity of working with them again.”
Installations manager at Hawthorns, Simon Ling said: “We are delighted with the way our installations business has grown and we are continuing to build the best team in the industry to meet the demand.”
