A Derbyshire company that specialises in providing temporary buildings has finished its two biggest projects in terms of both size and financial deals. 

Transformaspace, based in Ripley, won a tender to supply an open-sided canopy with lighting for a major logistics firm to provide additional temporary storage.

The canopy, measuring 50 metres long by 20 metres wide, is the biggest structure that the firm has supplied since being set up my managing director Steve Alldread a year ago.

Steve's team completed putting up the structure, at a distribution hub in Leicestershire, over a weekend in response to the client's demands and to minimize the disruption to operations.

"I'm particularly delighted with this project because the logistics firm - a major player in its field - was so pleased with our professionalism, the speed of response, and quality of product that it has put us on its list of preferred suppliers," said Steve.

This followed hard on the heels of the company's biggest earner, worth more than £100,000, to supply and put up a similar type of canopy, measuring 35m long and 30 metres wide, to the Lichfield international freight terminal at Burton. 

Transformaspace has also re-located a 25 metre long by 25 metre wide canopy with steel clad sides to Wednesbury in the West Midlands.

The canopy was originally supplied to CFT Logistics, part of Pallet Track, at Rochdale, but has now been sold to GC Rickards, of Moxley, and moved to the CFT site at Wednesbury used for covered loading and unloading and storage.

"This demonstrates the flexibility of our temporary buildings and how they can easily be re-located to support the demands of businesses," said Steve.
