The Whiteghyll Solution

The iPad 2 security display stand was fabricated from stainless steel and powder coated. The security display was laser cut to shape to provide consistent results, allowing for individual or large volume orders. Each secure fixing on the iPad 2 secure stand was designed to allow alterations to cover on/off switches or power cable leads for a sleek presentation of the iPad 2.

Particular ranges have included acrylic, metal and wooden display units for mobile phones, wireless technology and mobile phone accessories. Various printed advertising materials and wall mounted signage have also been produced to assist store promotions.

Bespoke shelving was manufactured and installed to allow for products and interchangeable graphics to be displayed. Our specialised shop fitting teams visited over 350 stores and replaced the old cabinet with the new multifunctional unit within 4 weeks.

The multi-functional display cabinets have proven to be a success for 3 Mobile. They allow for store staff to relocate the shelving for different product sizes and replace graphics when necessary with no difficulty. In doing so, the cabinet is cost effective and the interchangeable graphics and products maintains an up do date brand and store continuity.

Established in 1910, Kone have become one of the major players in providing lifts and escalators. They have factories located globally and for many years, Whiteghyll have had the privilege of being associated with their assembly plant in Keighley, West Yorkshire.

Project Brief

Work closely with the Kone design team and provide a safety device to prevent people from climbing on to moving escalators.
Manufacture the safety device and deliver to various locations for the Kone engineering teams to install.

The Challenge

The anti climb barriers installed to each escalator must perform the desired health and safety function whilst being inconspicuous.

The Whiteghyll Solution

The final designs were checked and approved by both of the Kone and Whiteghyll design departments. 10mm clear Cast Acrylic was selected as the most suitable material to meet the demands.

Production Process:

Stage 1: cut the material in Whiteghyll’s machine shop on a CNC machine and diamond edge polish to ensure a smooth safe finish.
Stage 2: transform the flat sheets of acrylic into the correct shape through heat and bonding techniques using jigs and moulds.
Stage 3: inspection and packing
Stage 4: distribution to various locations (final examination and installation conducted by the Kone team.)

Overview

In March 2008, BHS opened their new flagship store at the prestigious Barton Square shopping centre in Manchester. We were tasked to design, manufacture, and install bespoke chandeliers and lamp shades in three areas of the new store.

Project Brief

Design, manufacture and install bespoke chandeliers to promote the kitchen utensil and cutlery area, glassware area and home living sections of the store. Each oversized chandelier to represent the specific area of the store.

The Whiteghyll Solution

The first chandelier was to promote the kitchen utensil and cutlery area. A metal framework that was powder coated to create a tiered effect body of the chandelier was designed and manufactured by our in house teams.

A second chandelier housed over 400 full size wine glasses that was used within the glassware section of the store. This provided a wonderful challenge for our design, manufacturing and installation teams who had to produce a fixing method that ensured that no glasses could fall from the chandelier once set in it’s location.

A specific fixing technique was employed to ensure each glass hung secure.

The third area of the store was promoting home living and three oversized lamp shades were produced. The overall size was 3m diameter × 1.5m. The metal frame sub-structure designed and manufactured by our team was dressed in a canvas and tassels to create the finished product were procured from France one day prior to installation.

All chandeliers and lamp shades were installed by our own installation teams using scissor lifts in tandem to suspend at an agreed height of the ceiling structure. Spot lights were then set to each chandelier and lamp shade.

The chandeliers and lamp shades designed, manufactured and installed by our Whiteghyll team were completed under very tight lead times. We were given days, not weeks, to complete the project.

This was a great challenge for Whiteghyll and the completed project is one that all our Whiteghyll team can, should be and are very proud of.
