Military Facility Fit-Out with Nevill Long Thetford

Nevill Long Thetford played a crucial role in the interior refurbishment of seven buildings within a military framework in Suffolk. With our support, sub-contractor HL Interiors Limited has so far completed the full interior fit-out of six buildings at RAF Lakenheath and another at RAF Mildenhall. Work began in January 2023, with more projects planned in 2024.

The buildings have a wide range of uses such as a DIY store, military operations, and a mess hall for personnel, so each fit-out was tailored accordingly.

Ceiling systems from leading brands included Zentia’s Perla OP dB acoustic system and Rockfon’s anti-microbial Medicare system, as well as Drylining products and British Gypsum Glasroc F Fire Protection Boards.

Our Thetford branch was chosen to supply the project due to our experience of working with military facilities and our in-depth understanding of the processes required. Careful route planning allowed us to meet delivery requirements while avoiding delays to the project.

Our strong supplier partnerships were also recognised, particularly our collaborative relationship with Zentia, instilling confidence that we could source and deliver the required products on time and without complications.

Richard Lane, Director of HL Interiors Limited was committed to including Encon & Nevill Long in their supply chain. Richard comments: “I have been working with Encon & Nevill Long for decades and I know I can rely on them to deliver everything on time and to specification, and it was no different for this more varied and complex project.

“Jane and Ashley at Nevill Long Thetford are highly cooperative and responsive to our requests, and the logistical challenges of delivering to a military facility were overcome through the branch’s meticulous planning. We look forward to working on more projects together in future.”

Despite logistical and other project challenges, including a change in architect during the project, Nevill Long Thetford provided a high standard of service. Strong supplier relationships, a knowledgeable team and reliable support were key elements of Thetford’s continuing success with this project framework.

Branch Director Vikky Ranns concludes: “Our customer-focused culture across the business underpins our branch ethos. We make sure we understand our customers and their needs in all aspects so we can deliver the best solutions for their projects. We enjoy a great working relationship with HL Interiors and can’t wait for more up and coming projects.”
