This edition will look at the recently completed Hotel Football & Café Football scheme and how NWP changed their approach when challenged with compact site conditions.

In January 2014 NWP received the order to commence development of the initial building services designs from Kings Consultant on the 132 bed hotel. On-site installation works started at the beginning of February with separate installation teams concentrating on the communal aspect and the 132 bedrooms respectively. Under the leadership of project manager Tom Burley the installation successfully overcame the restrictive site conditions due to its location by utilising a ‘just in time’ ordering process.

Tom Burley explained the benefit using such a method offered NWP.

“Using the ‘just in time’ delivery method ensured we minimised the amount of disruption our particular operation had on the entire site. It is a process we will look to use on future project in London & Cambridge both of which are located next to busy main roads with very limited storage. “

Tom’s opinion was echoed by Managing Director Tim Keyes who believed the process would benefit everybody involved in the development.

“Although utilising such a process takes a considerable amount of forward planning the benefits are clear to see. Not only does the installation run smoother, it also has a huge benefit when we put together our initial project timeline. We were slightly concerned it would lead to some down time due to missed deliveries but all of our suppliers accommodated the changes from the outset.”

 The 132 bedrooms would be split over 7 floors with the Old Trafford Supporters Club located on the canal level, the ground floor would house Café Football run by GG hospitality, and Restaurants would be located on the Mezzanine level & First Floor. The 9^th floor would be home to the rooftop football pitch & plant areas. The rooftop pitch which can double as an outdoor function/hospitality area offers outstanding views of Old Trafford Stadium and the surrounding area.

Working on such a recognised scheme has offered an exciting opportunity for NWP, with the added incentive of working alongside a rapidly growing firm in GG Hospitality. This particular development has improved NWP’s portfolio in both the leisure & retail industry & within the north west of England.

Everybody at NWP is extremely proud to have been involved with such a prestigious development.
