Background

Faccenda Foods is a leading UK food business delivering quality fresh and convenience food solutions to the retail and food service sectors.

A prestigious new development next door to the company’s existing production facility in Telford was planned to allow Faccenda Foods to meet growing demands by consolidating current portioning operations at one facility while opening up existing factory spaces for existing and new range developments to deliver consistently higher value and better quality for customers nationwide.

Challenge

The redevelopment and expansion at the Telford site required the construction of safe and durable parking areas that blended with existing hard landscaping. Keyblok areas were used to identify restricted parking such as disabled spaces, and tactile blister paving was used at drop kerbs for enhanced safety. For the immediate frontage to the building, an elegant combined concrete block and paving range was selected, using the highest quality aggregates, combining colour with a highly polished texture. This premium paving range was designed to accent contemporary architecture and enhance landscapes with a modern feel. Hard landscaping around the site was further enhanced with the use of a selection of kerbs and special textured step units to achieve a non-slip finish.

Benefit

The finished project has achieved a successful blend with existing hard landscaping on the site, creating premium, safe car parking areas. Use of Pallas at the entrance to the building demonstrates how hard landscaping can successfully enhance the aesthetics of any development.
