The £4.3m deal for John Sisk & Son is for the manufacture and fit out of kitchens and furniture for one of the biggest private rental schemes in Manchester which is being developed by Vita Group.

The £247m project forms part of Circle Square, a £750m mixed-use development on the former BBC site in the heart of the city.

Deanestor will manufacture and install 683 kitchens and around 2000 fitted wardrobes for the one, two and three- bedroom apartments.

As part of the design development process, Deanestor created a mock-up kitchen at its Mansfield factory for the client team to review.

Tristan Herbert, Senior Development Manager at Vita Group, said, “These are high quality apartments to meet the rising demand for city living.  Our requirement is for exceptional quality kitchen and bedroom furniture and a robust installation.

“Design-led aesthetic appeal for the fitted furniture is essential in order to attract tenants and to ensure the apartments look good for years to come.”

William Tonkinson, Managing Director of Deanestor, said, “The client required a combination of flexibility and quality with bespoke sizes and designs to suit the space and budget.

“Carefully-planned logistics and project management will ensure such a high number of furniture items will be installed with maximum efficiency until the end of 2020 on this large city centre site.”
