This year we will begin works on Westfield's Residential Block K Building, situated on the route into their White City shopping development, the 74 apartment building forms part of a £1bn extension to the Westfield London Shopping Centre. Included in our package are bespoke aluminium pressings and head supports and galvanised steel cill supports. Cast wired and cast wired sandblasted glass will be installed with TiMax GL insulation to some areas. Our system will be used both as a glass cladding and will form part of the facade in other areas where it will benefit from TiMax GL insulation as well as TiMax LT inserts - a thin translucent glass fabric which further improves G values.

As part of the Westcrowns Group’s continued support of local charity, The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice, we have signed up for the 50/10 Club. The 50/10 Club is part of the hospice’s Brick By Brick Appeal wherein 50 company’s have pledged to raise £10,000 each over the space of one year. Funds raised are to go towards a new state of the art facility.
The Westcrowns Group has committed to match the total raised by its employees pound for pound. A fund raising team has been set up to organise events and coordinate sponsored challenges. Already we have seen successful car washes, cake sales, sweepstakes and an eating challenge generously supported by staff.
