St Michael’s
High-end, powder-coated cycle racks for a premium end-of-journey cycling facility.
After assisting the main contractor with revisions to the cycle rack layouts, the client chose to enhance the end-of-journey facility and procure the cycle racks directly ahead of project completion.
Bellsure continued to work closely with Relentless Group through the handover process and played a key role in delivering the upgraded cycle storage solution. This included the supply of premium gas-assisted cycle racks, finished in a striking black powder coat – a substantial upgrade on the originally specified galvanised-only finish.
Project background
