Plaza Paving 'Perfect Shopping Solution'

Acheson & Glover's Plaza paving was chosen over other options to rejuvenate the exterior of Marks & Spencer's Sprucefield Shopping Centre when the original flagging needed refreshed.

Shoppers at the Sprucefield centre have been impressed by the fresh new paving, which greets them as they arrive at the store.

"The new Plaza paving supplied by Acheson & Glover is of the highest quality, which is needed for our busy shopping centre," said Denise Greenan, Assistant Centre Manager at Marks and Spencer, Sprucefield.

"There was minimal disruption to shoppers and the work was quick and very well managed. Our piazza area looks very impressive with clean-cut lines and a top quality finish."

Contractor F P McCann already enjoys an excellent working relationship with the Fivemiletown-based concrete manufacturing company and was delighted to partner Acheson & Glover in this latest retail project.

Acheson & Glover presented Marks & Spencer with three design options and by working through them together, a final design was agreed which best met all the job requirements.

Plaza has the high quality look to complement the surroundings. Manufactured using specially selected granite aggregate, its premium, natural form has excellent slip resistance and is also suitable for driving on. To add to the finished look, Acheson & Glover supplied silver grouting sand.

The product comes in modular sizes to create different patterning effects which adds to the finished look.
