Façades and shopfront specialist, DML Group, has won a £2.5m project at London Designer Outlet, currently under construction as part of the major development at Wembley, after main contractor John Sisk & Son shopped around for a supplier.
The 350,000 sq ft must-visit outlet shopping destination, which is being developed by Quintain Estates and Developments PLC and designed by Leslie Jones architects, is one of two large-scale retail developments – the other being Trinity Leeds, to which DML has been appointed.
The Leeds-based firm will design, manufacture, supply, install and test common area curtain walling, shop front cladding and metal pilasters.
When it opens its doors to shoppers, London Designer Outlet will feature retailers including L.K. Bennett, Superdry, Guess, Nike, Gap, Clarks and Marks & Spencer, a new nine-screen Cineworld and a strong line-up of restaurants including Prezzo, Handmade Burger Co, Las Iguanas and TGI Fridays. Located adjacent to Wembley Stadium and Arena, plus a new four star Hilton, the centre has the largest catchment of any UK shopping centre with 10.4m residents within a 60 minute radius.
Chris Murray, sales and marketing director, DML Group, said: “DML has considerable experience in delivering large projects like London Designer Outlet and we are proud to be appointed to this prestigious and high-profile scheme by John Sisk & Son, which will give an exciting new look to the retail landscape in the south-east.”
The DML Group has two divisions: Drawn Metal, which provides bespoke metalwork and shopfronts and whose clients include some of the world’s leading brands; and DML Architectural Systems, which specialises in external aluminium façades, cladding, windows, unitised and curtain walling and is a preferred supplier for several of the UK’s largest main contractors.
The company offers a total capability façade solution from design and build to bespoke entrances, whether clients are seeking a specialised ‘one-off’ requirement or a comprehensive, conception-to-completion, full turn-key provision.
