Record-breaking year predicted for fit-out specialist

A Warwickshire company is heading into a record-breaking 2023 after celebrating a milestone year that saw new jobs created and a move of premises.

Sandell, a fit-out and refurbishment specialist, moved from Tachbrook Park in Leamington Spa to Shottery Brook O ce Park in Stratford-uponAvon last year and has secured more than £3 million worth of new projects due to start this year. Two apprentices joined the company in 2022 along with three new members of sta – a site manager, contract manager and commercial designer.

The company was established in 1972 by Robin Sandell, focusing mainly on the installation of suspended ceilings and demountable partitions within commercial premises, before current owners Adrian and Andrew Stanier purchased the business in 2004.

It now works across a range of sectors – from commercial and industrial premises to motor dealerships and hospitality.
