‘MEET THE BUYER’ BOOSTS BUSINESS
FOR SENIOR ARCHITECTURAL SYSTEMS
To celebrate the success of
a joint business initiative,
Senior Architectural Systems
welcomed Ros Jones, Mayor
of Doncaster and Councillor
Bob Johnson, Cabinet Member
for Regeneration to their
Denaby site in South Yorkshire
recently.
Back in 2011, Senior took
part in a ‘meet the buyer’ event
organised by the council’s

‘Business Doncaster’ team and
Wates Construction. As a result,
Senior’s aluminium window,
door and curtain wall systems
were chosen as the preferred
product specification, to meet
performance criteria for the
construction of the new £10.7
Campsmount Technology
College, situated midway between
Knottingley and Doncaster in
South Yorkshire.

Following complete destruction
of the original school by an
electrical fire, Campsmount
College was a pilot project
for both cost-saving reforms
and for Wates Construction’s
Adapt Schools Solution design
approach. Specification of
Senior Aluminium Systems by
CPMG Architects, installation
by Doncaster fabricators Danum
Windows Ltd, ensured that both
the cost and performance needs
of the 7,500 m2 project were
comfortably met. Completed
in 2013, the project set out key
recommendations for the future
efficient delivery of educational
buildings.
The visitors were shown
around Senior’s 150,000 sq
ft headquarter Denaby site
including state-of-the-art

powder coating and warehousing
facilities, home to a multitude of
innovative aluminium, composite
aluminium/timber and fibreglass
systems.
Mark Wadsworth,
Commercial Director at Senior
Architectural Systems Ltd,
said “It’s fantastic that the
council’s ‘meet the buyer’ event
enabled us to develop a close
working relationship with Wates
Construction, which has led to
ongoing business opportunities.
