Balfour Beatty appointed Havelock Europa to provide a complete Furniture Fittings and Equipment (FF&E) solution for Bristow Helicopters’ new bases in Inverness, Humberside, Caernarfon and St Athan.

Bristow Helicopters is the leading provider of Search and Rescue (SAR) services in the UK, with extensive experience in delivering large SAR projects, led by personnel with the requisite experience and skills to ensure successful outcomes.

Havelock Europa’s ability to offer a complete service, designing, manufacturing, supplying and installing the majority of items required, was a key factor in securing the contract.

The project scope varied from standard products such as benching, storage, seating and bedroom furniture, through to more individual requirements, such as suit and boot storage units, radio charging units and reception counters.

The programme of works is set to continue with new bases planned in Prestwick and Newquay in 2015, and in Lee-on-Solent and Stornoway in 2017.
