The UK wide lockdown brought works to HIP car park at Barrow-in-Furness to a halt, deemed as non-essential for manufacturing and construction.
PMS worked with main contractors, Thomas Armstrong Construction Ltd. to get our teams back on site as soon as was safely possible once restrictions eased, continuing with the manufacture and erection of 550 tonnes of structural steel, now complete.
The construction project on the Farm Street site sits on the historical Vickers shipbuilders yard, and is now home to a 2-storey car park; servicing BAE Systems, who are responsible and unique in the design and building of the UK's next generation of nuclear submarines.
Employees from Thomas Armstrong Group have held their annual food collection and this year it offered their generous food donations to The North Lakes Food Bank.
People are using the services of a local food bank, many for the first time, as Furlough, lack of employment and other issues take their toll, as we continue through the COVID Pandemic.
North Lakes Foodbank were very grateful for our continued support, contributing to the help they provide to vulnerable people across Allerdale and Copeland.
Well done to all the Thomas Armstrong employees who took Time to donate food or monies towards our collection. We are very grateful for your contribution(s).
