Perimeter security manufacturer, Townscape Products Limited, is marking 40 years of manufacturing. The Sutton-in-Ashfield firm’s most recent projects involved providing hostile vehicle mitigation products to London’s ‘walkie talkie’ building, 20 Fenchurch Street, and Saudi Arabia’s newest international $507m sports facility, King Abdullah Sports City.
Jonathan Goss, managing director of Townscape, pictured, claims the secret to Townscape’s 40 year success is its high manufacturing standards and stresses the importance of manufacturing in the UK. Goss said: “Britain has a long history of quality manufacturing, however, over the years, we’ve sadly seen this shift to other countries. Our Nottinghamshire factory has produced the best of British street furniture and perimeter security for 40 years. Townscape’s products take pride of place on streets, town centres , airports and attractions across the UK. Our quality products are now sought after in a number of other countries, it’s fantastic to be exporting goods but it’s important to us to keep the jobs and economic activity in the UK.
“Over the past 40 years Townscape has developed innovative, high quality products using superior materials to meet the changing requirements of its customers. We’re now leading the way in the future of street furniture materials, such as Performa-Cast Polymer, and integrated hostile vehicle mitigation PAS 68 products.”
Over the past four decades the company’s projects have included; seating for Disneyland Resort, Paris, a timber shelter for Britain’s largest primary school in Bristol, seating across the UK for Network Rail, rust resistance signposts along the Anglesey coastline and perimeter protection for UK landmarks such as the Tower of London, Belfast Titanic Centre and UK airports.
