As no other suitable sites were available locally, we made the decision to demolish some of the original buildings \u2013 replacing them with an all new facility which offers more space and provide a lighter working environment to support the health and wellbeing of our team. This is a major investment which we hope will support the local area. Great care has also been taken to limit the changes for the nearby residents with the ridge height restricted to that of the original building.<\/p>\n<p>The new unit houses the fettling, sand casting, finishing and core shop and also provides space for an office on the upper floor. The only other process \u2013 die casting \u2013 continues in the remaining older buildings whilst we complete work on their replacements.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13538\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13538\" class=\"wp-image-13538 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.britishsc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_2435-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishsc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_2435-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.britishsc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_2435-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.britishsc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_2435-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.britishsc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_2435-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.britishsc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_2435-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.britishsc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_2435-136x90.jpg 136w, https:\/\/www.britishsc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_2435-528x352.jpg 528w, https:\/\/www.britishsc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_2435-522x348.jpg 522w, https:\/\/www.britishsc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_2435-542x361.jpg 542w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-13538\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our skilled foundry team outside the new building.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We\u2019re confident that this fantastic new facility will help us to keep making strides forward as a business and ensure this fine trade remains active within Staffordshire for the next 50 years and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are very proud of the fact that all our staircases, railings and balconies are produced right here in Britain and our foundry is a key part of that.
