A South Leicestershire surfacing company has won a £600k contract with Leicester City Council to help transform the city’s paving as part of its highways improvement scheme.
HMS Decorative Surfacing has been awarded a two-year contract to install and maintain decorative resin bound and bonded finishes to city centre footpaths, open spaces, cycle lanes, tree pits and greenspace landscaping.
This contract will guarantee a 5% increase in profits for the North-Kilworth based company.
Martin Fletcher, Leicester City Council Director of Highways, said: “It is important that our highways improvement projects are finished to the highest standard and help create safe and attractive spaces.
“HMS Decorative Surfacing have real expertise in resin bound surfacing and working with them under his new contract will ensure projects are finished to the highest standard. We look forward to seeing the impact this will have on our city centre.”
The resin bound and bonded surfacing used by HMS is durable and low maintenance, creating non-slip and aesthetic spaces for the public.
Laura Wilson, Director at HMS Decorative Surfacing, said: “We are delighted to be working with Leicester City Council to transform our local city centre. As a Leicestershire-based business, the accessibility and appeal of the area is important to us, so we are proud to be making improvements that will make a real difference to the tourism and business investment here.
“We take care to provide safe, sustainable and attractive spaces for the public, using the very best materials, and are committed to working closely with Leicester City Council over the coming years on these exciting regenerative projects.”
