When London's Brent Council undertook the provision of a new Nursery for Park Lane Primary School, Wembley, their brief emphasised environmental considerations. This reflected the ethos of the school, which is committed to ecologically sound policies.

Headmaster, Martin Francis says 'We wanted an environmentally friendly, child centred nursery.'

In early 2004 Broxwood, independent suppliers of Scandinavian timber windows and doors, entered into a relationship which was to lead to a £1.1m deal and the supply of more than 2,225 windows to one of the largest redevelopment projects in Manchester. Quite a coup for this relatively recently established (launched in 2003), relatively small, Scottish-based company.
