Cast plasterer lands five-figure contract for Leeds urban quarter scheme

A Leeds-based cast plasterer has won a five-figure contract for a new building on one of the city’s central developments.

Ryedale Interiors has been chosen to carry out a £40k contract working on the latest building at the Wellington Place scheme in Leeds.

Comprising over 1.9 million sq. ft of office, residential, retail and leisure space across eight buildings, the 22-acre Wellington Place scheme aims to be a new Urban Quarter within Leeds city centre.

The local specialist contractor has been chosen by lead Dry Lining contractor, Sparta Systems Ltd to design, manufacture and install 60 Glass Reinforced Gypsum (GRG) column casings within the eight-storey office block.

The £40k contract will see Ryedale Interiors Ltd replicate the GRG works it completed at Building 3 in October 2017 on Building 4, which when completed will over 156,000 sq ft of office, retail and leisure space.

Roger Hannon, managing director at Ryedale Interiors, commented: “As a Leeds-based business, it’s an honour to be a part of such a stunning development that will help provide so many benefits to the residents of Leeds city centre and beyond.

“In 2017, we worked with Wates Construction on Building 3 at Wellington Place and also for Wates on the Central Square office development, so it’s a privilege to be a part of the latest contract work.”
