Brighouse metalwork firm Arkoni in £900k children's hospital contract

Brighouse-based glazing and metalwork firm Arkoni is carrying out one of its biggest projects to date at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital on Merseyside.

Valued at £900k, the contract is almost double Arkoni’s previous largest project at Derby Sports Arena and involves the manufacture and installation of internal fire rated windows and doors, fire rated curtain walling, rooflights and smoke vents at the well known hospital.

The company currently employs 52 at its Brighouse HQ and reported a 2013/2014 August to July turnover of £5.25 million, a 30% increase on the previous twelve months. Arkoni expects to report a similar level of growth for the period 2014-2015.

Arkoni MD and founder Mark Prentice explained: “We’re delighted to be involved in the ongoing building work for the relocated Alder Hey in the Park project.

“We are winning more and more major contracts as the UK’s construction industry continues to recover from the recession.”

Arkoni, established in 1991, specialises in the manufacture and installation of bespoke fire rated glazing, steel and stainless steel windows and doors and thermally broken glazing as well as balustrades, glazed canopies and staircases.
