Timber Scotframe delivers the goods 8000 miles away in the Falkland Islands
With its unrivalled reputation for service, quality and value for money, Scotframe, the Inverurie-headquartered timber engineering business, is accustomed to clients seeking out its services from places much further afield than its Scottish manufacturing bases.
But recent contracts have taken the UK’s leading full kit manufacturers to pastures remarkably new - more than 8000 miles away on the windswept Falkland Islands in the distant reaches of the South Atlantic Ocean.
Scotframe has not only supplied a new extension to the school in Port Stanley, the islands’ administrative centre, it has supplied kits for 30 new homes on Sapper Hill on the remote British Overseas Territory.
The company is now in the process of shipping another 30 kits to the islands and will be tendering for future housing, as many as 150 homes, on the Sapper Hill estate once ongoing infrastructure works are completed.
A spokesperson for Morrison Construction/Galliford Try - which, through its stand alone subsidiary Morrison Falklands Ltd is overseeing the schools and homes projects - said: “With the school extension, Scotframe supplied the full kit for a new classroom, a kitchen and a boiler room. It provided everything, down to tables and chairs, kitchen fittings and sanitary units.
“The extension was necessary to accommodate the growing pupil community and, with the population of Port Stanley now standing at 2500, it is likely that further extensions will be required in the future.”
The school stands behind the hospital and the government buildings in Port Stanley, which experienced fierce fighting when the islands were invaded by Argentina in 1982 and subsequently retaken by a British task force.
