New Building for Mark Harrod Limited


Tilia are currently constructing a new building for sports equipment supplier, Mark Harrod Limited, situated at Tilia Court on the Beccles Business Park, Suffolk.

Mark Harrod Limited is one of the leading suppliers of specialist sports equipment in the UK. The company supplies schools, colleges, local authorities, contractors and sports clubs throughout the country, with a wide range of high quality products and was honoured to supply equipment for the London 2012 Olympics.

Work commenced by setting out the foundations for the new building, followed by extensive excavation work into blue clay. All the foundation work went according to schedule, as did the substantial excavations for the stanchion bases.

However, the blue clay was extremely sticky, prompting one of the Tilia team to comment, “I suddenly grew a couple of inches thanks to the amount of clay that built up on my work boots!”

Once the initial work had been completed, the bolt boxes were installed and the concrete poured. The steel erection went smoothly and the block work and external brickwork was able to progress, prior to the placement of the concrete floor, along with the drainage connections and other external groundwork.

The project is proceeding well and further details of the build will be posted shortly

Tilia Properties offer a wide range of purpose built business units for lease or purchase throughout Norfolk and Suffolk, all constructed to the highest standards of workmanship.
