SGB have been using their ability to respond efficiently to more specific client requirements in order to supply large quantities of equipment. This popular offering by the company has allowed SGB to be appointed as the access system provider on a major new development that is taking place in Manchester. Since being awarded this contract, SGB has supplied a large integrated mastclimber access solution for the middlewood Locks Development that has been built in Salford, Manchester.

The mixed use development in Manchester includes the creation of six blocks that will stand between eight and 11 storeys high. There will also be an access system that is required and will be able to accommodate the different requirements that will be posed by a range of different parts on the site. The client for this project is BCEGI and they were in need of an access systems supplier that have the capacity to design and install a bespoke solution. SGB have these qualities and would be able to support the requirement with the provision of equipment, a flexible service and detailed technical back-up and support.

The Middlewood Locks Development has been valued at £700 million, and was one of the first major projects to be undertaken by client BCEGI in the north west. This previous development also saw SGB deliver 91 single and double mastclimbers in order to meet the requirements of the project. The Middlewood Locks development is a part of a 24-acre regeneration scheme, with SGB offering a full installation and management service that was able to meet their client’s requirements. Hopefully the partnership that has been formed on this project will be beneficial for both BCEGI and SGB in the future.
