Haldane is Key To University Success

Haldane has manufactured and installed over 200 linear metres of 50mm diameter steamed beech handrail at the Keyworth Centre, which offers state of the art teaching facilities at London South Bank University.

The 9 storey development forms part of a major redevelopment for the establishment which recently achieved University status and has undertaken a complete rebranding exercise.

Haldane’s Managing Director, Forrester Adam, said “We are delighted to have successfully completed this contracts it demonstrates our increased competitiveness in more straight forward contracts which are dominated by straight rail.”

Haldane’s increased efficiencies have been achieved by their ambitious continuous improvement programme which measures and reassesses every process in the company on an ongoing basis.

The programme follows on from a major transformation exercise which was completed almost 12 months ago and saw a complete redesign of the factory and the installation of a 1000 sq ft mezzanine floor to accommodate additional machinery.

Forrester explained, “Last year’s exercise significantly increased our production capacity which has been necessary to meet increasing workloads. However we recognise that to maintain our position and reputation in the market we must continue to raise our market leading standards of efficiency and service.”
