New heights for Rocklyn Engineering
May 1, 2018
A Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council delegation recently visited Lisburn Company Rocklyn Engineering Ltd following their triumph at the Sports and Play Construction Association Awards (SAPCA) when they beat 17 other finalists to win the 2017 SAPCA Award for Excellence.
Speaking about the award, sales manager at Rocklyn Gareth Howe said: “This award was won for our work on an on an elite-performance, indoor tennis centre at Ellesmere College in Shropshire. We worked in partnership with a fellow SAPCA-member Veldeman Structures and supplied a fabric-framed system covering four tennis courts, built to Lawn Tennis Association standards. The Ellesmere project is the largest of its kind we've completed in England and we're absolutely delighted to have picked up the SAPCA Award for it. This gives the business a great boost and motivation to strive for more success.”
Chairman of the Council’s Development Committee, Alderman Allan Ewart MBE said: “We are fortunate to have so many great manufacturers in our Council area and it is businesses like Rockyn who have been established since 1980 who are a great example of what can be achieved. The indoor tennis centre project worth £1.1million is typical of the type of project Rocklyn work on providing a complete project service from design, technical drawings and assistance during the planning process through to the building works. Well done on their award and I look forward to learning more about their future success. The Council continues to visit local business as part of our wider programme of investment activity looking at how the council can work in partnership to aid their growth.”
