The new Bristan Headquarters (artists impression).

As Bristan is putting down new foundations for company growth through its sales and product development activity, the physical foundations of Bristan's future growth are already going in.

To facilitate growth in the company the long-awaited, new Bristan Group Headquarters in Tamworth is now well underway. The building will incorporate a 220,000 sq ft warehouse and administration site. Thanks to frenetic activity on the early stages of the building work the project is currently well on schedule for completion in August 2006.

The site has been a hive of activity since the heavy machinery moved in and groundwork on the project began earlier this month. Already drains and foundations pads are in for most of the building and the all the foundation bases which are to receive main steelwork have now been cast. A main access road has been created for site traffic and a platform for scissor lifts has been created which will be utilised for the building cladding.
