Reflecting on an incredible year! π #2023 has been a whirlwind of growth and achievement for our team, and we're thrilled to share some highlights.
Last week, we celebrated our successes with an unforgettable evening at Lorentes Derby, surrounded by our amazing team, spouses, and partners. It was a moment to appreciate our collective efforts and look forward to the exciting opportunities that await us in #2024.
Our commitment to commercially driven excellent customer service has fueled our organic growth, expanding our footprint across various sectors.

Your support has been the driving force behind our success, and we look forward to continuing this journey together in the coming year. Here's to a prosperous and joyous 2024! π

π π₯ LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! That's a Wrap at Aida Bliss on Chester Green, Derby! π¬ π
What an exhilarating start to the week it's been for us! Over the past three months, our dedicated project team has been working tirelessly behind the scenes to bring the magic of filmmaking to the Union Foundry building. Our super-talented client Damien Walters is spearheading an upcoming movie that has turned this iconic location into a cinematic backdrop.

πΈ We are excited to share some progress photographs from the site of our luxurious new build home in Allestree, Derby! π‘β¨
This project entails the creation of a spacious 5-bed family home, designed to provide ample room for comfortable living.

A highlight of the property is the expansive family kitchen diner, featuring full-height sliding doors that seamlessly connect the indoor and outdoor spaces.
π PROJECT UPDATE π - 22 Albert Street, Newark
We are thrilled to share some progress photos of our renovation project at 22 Albert Street located within Newark Conservation Area. The historic building has a rich past, originally a Victorian School and later used as a Meeting Hall and Antiques Centre.
We are converting the building into 9 bespoke luxury flats that will be truly one-of-a-kind. Most excitingly is the transformation of the school hall into 5 duplex units. With master bedrooms, walk-in dressing space, and spacious shower rooms built over open-plan living-dining spaces, these units are ideal professional living spaces.
We are also converting the original classroom spaces and later rear extensions into new flats, varying in size from 1-bed units to a 3-bed 2-storey home. Each space will take advantage of the original features, large windows, and high ceilings, giving truly unique and individual homes close to the centre of Newark.
The show flat has recently been completed to an incredible standard. Our team can't wait to see all the other units transformed to match.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project as we head towards completion. And don't forget to share your thoughts and questions in the comments below.
