Two major contracts for DORMA’s northern service division

DORMA’s service division in the north east, Service North, based in Jarrow, has won two major contracts in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, coincidentally both sites being near the heart of the City in the busy Northumberland Street area – Eldon Square Shopping Centre and Newcastle Central Library. Newcastle is the fifth largest shopping destination in Great Britain with over 40 million people visiting the city's shops every year and Eldon Square, in the heart of Newcastle, is Europe's largest city centre shopping precinct. It boasts over 140 outlets and two of the largest department stores in the country, Fenwick and John Lewis.

Eldon Square
Service North have undertaken major refurbishment work in the Eldon Square Centre, bringing the whole complex up to compliance standards with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) which comes into force in October this year. The comprehensive work undertaken included a £230,000 window replacement project in the Grainger Town Development part of the complex; the replacement of 20 roller shutters to main entrances; the installation of four FFT automatic folding door systems in place of manual entrances; and the provision of new steel doors for bin cupboard areas. All fire doors have been replaced throughout the corridor areas of the Centre as well.
