A Grand Opening to Remember

/in /by

It was a privilege to support the launch of Alexanders Timbers Design’s impressive new facility, a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant that is set to become one of the UK’s leading hubs for timber frame housing innovation.

This landmark moment deserved a touch of ceremony, and our team was proud to contribute in two special ways: with a beautifully handcrafted brass plaque, and our signature red free standing curtain system, which added just the right sense of occasion to the big reveal.

The plaque, expertly engraved by our in-house team, now takes pride of place at the facility, commemorating the hard work, vision, and innovation behind the project. The dramatic unveiling using our curtain system made the grand opening truly unforgettable, marking the start of an exciting new chapter for Alexanders Timber Design and Glennon Brothers.
