LONGSTANDING Swindon-based joinery, mechanical and electrical contractor Edmont has carried out essential work at Great Western Hospital and the outlet village during lockdown.

The company’s 33,000 sq. ft. joinery manufacturing workshop has just restarted production with new social distancing and safety measures in place.

After the fit-out team completed work in GWH and the electrical team continued replacing the lighting in the Designer Outlet, more projects have been resumed now that lockdown measures have been eased.

The business' largest project is the refurbishment, joinery manufacture and sorting out the mechanics and electrical work for Qatar Airways’ new lounge at Heathrow Airport.

While there is much in the news about the pressures on the travel industry, Edmont, who specialise in airport retail fit-out, is hoping that now will be an ideal time for their airport retail clients to carry out maintenance and update works while stores are closed.

Managing director Craig Morton said, “While we have had to make some difficult decisions and changes to the business due to Covid-19, we are pleased to be able to continue working with many of our longstanding and local clients, such as Nationwide Building Society and Great Western Hospital.

"We’ve got some great work happening in the Swindon area, and we would urge any companies that require updates to their premises to get in touch.

"We know many companies will need assistance in reorganising their work spaces due to the pandemic, and we also offer installation of coronavirus safety items like screens, signage and sanitation stations.

"We provide PAT testing and emergency lighting testing, as well as offering general maintenance, mechanics and electrical work, and refurbishment works.

"It’s an ideal time for businesses locally to look at updating office, pub, restaurant and retail spaces, something that we can assist with safely while premises are empty.

"We’re coming up to our 50th year in Swindon, and we’re proud to be doing everything we can to ensure Edmont continue to be a part of the town's business community for many years to come.”
