Elements Europe Delivering for Leading UK Hotels
Elements Europe will shortly install 283 bespoke Bathroom Pods manufactured for Motel One in Manchester. Manufactured in Elements Europe’s new facility in Shropshire, the modules are being delivered to site ready for installation next month.
The luxury bathrooms have been designed to the exceptional standards of the Motel One brand and feature dark granite counter tops, walk-in power showers, countertop basins and back-to-wall WCs. The scheme comprises a mixture of en-suites with showers and 18 accessible Bathroom Pods designed to full accessible standards.
The city centre hotel is the second project Elements Europe has delivered for the Motel One brand, and it is its first collaboration with the project’s main contractor Russell Construction.
This month, Elements Europe has also completed manufacture for Premier Inn in South Bromley and installation of the 131 Bathroom Pods will be underway later this year. A mixture of standard and accessible pods have been manufactured to Premier Inn’s latest specification.
The hotel forms part of a landmark £90 million development in South Bromley. As well as the 131-room Premier Inn, the regeneration scheme includes a multiplex cinema and 25,000 sqft of new café and restaurant space alongside 200 residential apartments.
Kevin Arthur, Director commented, “We are proud to be involved in this landmark regeneration project. This is the twelfth collaboration between Elements Europe and Premier Inn, which is testament to our proven track record in delivering successfully to the hotel sector.”
A Decade of Success for Elements Europe
2015 marks ten years of business success for Elements Europe. Born from a firm belief that traditional methods of construction could be improved, The Pickstock Group set about investing resource, capital and dedication into testing and fine tuning its aspiring plans for an off-site modular construction business.
Building on the obvious benefits of off-site construction; reduced build programmes, improved quality, health and safety, material traceability with less snagging on-site, Elements Europe was born with a clear mission statement to achieve excellence in the design, manufacture and delivery of high quality off-site construction systems to leading UK contractors.
During the past ten years Elements Europe has delivered many ambitious projects which has seen the company grow to be one of the leading off-site system providers within the UK.
Since their very first project, a 59 bedroom Premier Inn, Elements Europe has gone on to manufacture for complex and ambitious projects working alongside the UK’s leading contractors as well as its parent company Pickstock Construction to deliver full turnkey solutions.
Operating in the hotel, student accommodation, health care, defence and residential sectors, Elements Europe has worked alongside some of the best brands in the UK having delivered numerous schemes for Premier Inn, as well as for Travelodge, Motel One, and the coveted Renaissance Hotel at St Pancras Station, London.
It has manufactured temporary accommodation for the MoD to house troops during the Olympic Games in London, shipped modules to Sierra Leone and housed security for the G8 Summit.
Elements Europe’s design team work closely with the client to ensure that they achieve the exact specification they require whether it be a luxury hotel or student accommodation. A recent project saw the installation of 604 modules for Berkeley Homes’ student accommodation scheme in Bath’s city centre which entailed many specific design features to fit in with Bath’s local vernacular.
This year will also see the completion of a turnkey solution by the Pickstock Group in Colchester which has seen a total of 1049 modules installed into two phases of a student accommodation scheme, completed over a two year period which is its largest project to date.
There have been many milestones for Elements Europe over the last decade and the next ten years is set to be just as exciting with the recent relocation to a new manufacturing facility 266% larger than its previous, new Managing Director Simon Underwood formally of Mace joining the team, and commencing its first private rented sector and retail projects which will lay the grounds for expansion in these sectors.
