Sika has transformed the basement of its Preston centre into a new training conference room. The five-figure refurbishment at Sika House includes an interactive showroom area where visitors can discover a range of Sika products.
The renovation project was a collaborative, in-house venture, which called upon the experience and expertise of Sika staff from across the UK and Europe.
Speaking about the new conference training room and exhibition area, which was officially opened in early September, Dragan Maksimović, general manager of Sika UK, said: “This has very much been a project where all parts of Sika worked collaboratively to showcase the products, their individual expertise and application of our materials. It’s a great new facility, and well done to everybody involved.”
The conference training room has capacity to host up to 40 people. A breakout showroom area features products from Sika’s entire range of construction-based solutions, while augmenting the exhibition space are a series of interactive TV screens. These provide a useful information tool for visitors on the scope and availability of high-quality Sika products.
Staff across all levels of the Sika business played their part in the refurbishment. Architect interns took the opportunity to learn about the company’s products on a “live” project by proposing design concepts, which included remodelling the floor plan, as changes were made throughout the build.
Preston builders, Walkers, carried out the refurbishment work, with Sika’s application teams – including visiting staff members from Sika Spain – installing the main internal finishing products.
