Birchwood Park Based DV8 Begin Work on Major Refurbishment of Shalimar Bar, Restaurant and Lounge

Leading architecture and interior design practice DV8 Designs have begun work on a six-figure sum refurbishment of the Shalimar Bar, Restaurant and Lounge in Wilmslow.

This is the second outlet within the chain that the company has worked on, having recently transformed the popular Shalimar Restaurant in Upper Mill. The project will include expanding the existing building to increase its 150 seating capacity and giving it a more contemporary feeling, complete with new ceilings, floors, fixtures and fittings.

MD of DV8 Designs Lee Birchall said: “Differing from the ‘run of the mill’ Indian restaurants, Shalimar Bar, Restaurant and Lounge’s new look has been designed with a modern feel to encompass a wide range of clientele, who can enjoy fine Indian cuisine in the restaurant and Indian Tapas in the bar area.

“We’re delighted to be working on this project as we know that these design changes will dramatically enhance the overall business. Not only does it extend Shalimar’s offering, but it will also attract an increasing number of passing customers from within the area, which has a reputation for its high foot fall.”

Completion of the project is due next month (December) in time for the festive season.

DV8 Designs’ diverse portfolio includes residential, bars, restaurants, hotels, leisure centres, swimming pools, spas, golf clubs & offices.


Birchwood Park Business Announces Strategic Investment in New Manufacturing Facility for the UK Nuclear Market

Thomson House based NES are delighted to announce the strategic investment in four CNC machining centres for the manufacturing facility at the company’s headquarters in Wolverhampton. The investment is part of NES’ on-going commitment to developing a world class manufacturing facility for the UK nuclear market.

The purchase will strengthen NES’ position within the Nuclear Decommissioning and Defence markets. As one of the UK’s leading suppliers of fully integrated bespoke engineering solutions, the investment will complement the significant progress made in the development of NES’ supply chain partners.

The investment, in parallel with the work being carried out with the Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, Nuclear (AMRC) in Sheffield, and NES’ enrolment to the National Skills Academy for Nuclear Manufacturing, helps position NES as a leading supplier of equipment to the UK Nuclear New Build market.

The first two machines, a Hartford Tornado HCMC13AG CNC Vertical Miller and a Hyundai Wia L300MC CNC Lathe, is scheduled for November delivery in 2012, with production availability in January 2013.

The third machine installed, will be a Hyundai Wia KBN135CL CNC Borer with installation in January 2013.

The final installation will be the largest of the machines in March 2013. A Soraluce SM10000 Fixed Table Travelling Column CNC Miller. This machine will have a 10m bed and significantly increase the size of items that can be machined by NES.

The new machines will have full CADCAM (Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing) capability, which will facilitate the seamless integration between engineering and manufacturing, allowing ProEngineer and AutoCAD models to be directly imported into the machines’ CNC programming system. NES will also use the machines to work on standalone “build to print” contracts, where NES involvement is through our manufacture and assembly expertise. The machines will also use an On Machine Verification (OMV) programme that allows initial checking of machined parts to be carried out in-situ, rather than having to transfer them to a co-ordinate measuring machine for inspection.

Commenting on the investment, NES Group Managing Director Mike Hawe, said “NES are committed to establishing a state of the art manufacturing base within the UK to support the growth ambitions of the company within the UK and European Nuclear New Build and Nuclear Decommissioning sectors. Key areas across the business have been identified where investment will further develop the NES product offering, providing our customers with the most innovative and best value solutions. It is an extremely exciting period in the history of NES, and the emergent opportunities in the Nuclear New Build market provide great development and growth potential for the business. We see the new manufacturing equipment as a key phase in the business’ growth, enabling NES to offer greater support to companies across operational sites as well as emergent Nuclear New Build opportunities”.

Alterations to the manufacturing facility infrastructure are scheduled to commence in October in order to accommodate the new machines. The existing machining capacity will be relocated, followed by significant alterations to the building services and floor loadings. The new layout will enable the seamless flow of machined items from the manufacturing area into the assembly bays.

This is the latest in a series of investments by NES to position itself at the forefront of the nuclear supply chain. Recent investments have included the expansion of the Centre of Engineering Excellence in the Thomson House building at Risley, opening of the NES North West Division in Beckermet, the closest facility of its type to the Sellafield site, and the development of an IMechE accredited Graduate Engineering scheme, something that NES plan to replicate across all the engineering disciplines.

Birchwood Park company DV8 Wins Commission to Design Gullivers Group’s First Hotel

Leading architecture and interior design practice DV8 Designs has unveiled its new look for the recently launched Gullivers World Hotel in Warrington.

The Birchwood Park based practice, which was established by Lee Birchall in 2006, spent a total of eight months working alongside Gullivers to help create a modern and contemporary feel within its lodge themed hotel. Their overall project included the design of the hotel reception, bar and restaurant as well as the design inspiration for its 50 bedrooms, which comprise of family rooms, doubles and twins and also six uniquely themed suites.

Primarily aimed at families, it is hoped that Gullivers will quickly become Cheshire's most unique hotel.

Managing Director of DV8 Designs Lee Birchall said: “It’s fantastic that Gulliver’s have had the confidence to work with a local architectural and interior design practice such as ours, rather than choose a nationally known practice to carry such an imaginative project. It goes to show Gullivers’ commitment and foresight to keep choosing local businesses, who intrinsically have Warrington’s interests at heart.”

DV8 Designs were commissioned to work on the hotel following the successful re-design of the Diamond Lil’s Restaurant, also based at Gullivers World. The DV8 team are now looking at designing the park’s newest addition – a restaurant entitled ‘Chef Gully's’.

Gullivers managing director Julie Dalton said: “It’s important for us to work with local businesses like DV8 Designs and we’re delighted with how the hotel has turned out – we look forward to welcoming customers to experience it.”
