The facility is based at BAE’s Samlesbury site, which employs more than 4,000 staff, and it was the first major development in the Lancashire Enterprise Zone.
Blue Ocean Building provided joinery services for two warehouses on this site, completed in Summer 2017. We created the first, second and final fix joinery, kitchen installation and doors for this distribution warehouse. BAE Systems, as our sub-client, insist upon stringent Health and Safety standards and quality processes – they trusted us to provide this level of service and we delivered on their requirements.
