Overview

Barking Abbey School is a sports college that consistently ranks amongst the top 20% of state-comprehensive schools in England. They were named National Sports College of the Year in 2011 by a major broadsheet.

Kellwood Lighting was contracted to supply and install all electrical infrastructure and lighting within the clients' brand new, premium-standard Netball facility.

Challenges

Barking Abbey School wanted a high-performance lighting array included in a budget stretched by delayed building works. Kellwood's lighting designers produced a custom solution to support county and national grade sport.

Turnkey, full-building wiring was also needed.

Solution

Despite operating over 300 miles from the Kellwood Group's main offices in southern Scotland Kellwood Electrical's installation team self-managed a complex installation, helping to bring a delayed project back on schedule and on budget.

The results

"Kellwood were selected ahead of six other far more local contractors. They were more expensive than the average but having just received project hand-over I'm still fully convinced they were the only team involved who actually understood what was needed in the first place. Kellwood's lighting division designed a custom solution to support county and national grade sport. Their supporting information's quality and sheer willingness to help eventually led me to trust them unconditionally"
