Marshalls, a UK hard landscaping manufacturer, has worked on Northamptonshire Police‘s new headquarters in Kettering. Products from Marshalls’ Landscape Protection range have been used on the outside of the building, including Geo bollards and seating, a Pluto cycle shelter and bespoke concrete planters.
The new Northern Accommodation Building has been developed to replace the outdated police stations in Kettering and Corby and provides a 20-cell custody suite and three-storey offices which can hold more than 300 officers and staff. It will house police and the county’s Fire and Rescue Service.
Jaz Vilkhu, Managing Director of Marshalls Landscape Protection, said: “The specification required to protect facilities such as the Northern Accommodation Building means only the most secure products will do. However, it is also vital they fit into and complement the surrounding landscape.
“Our Landscape Protection products achieve the desired aesthetic aim while also protecting against any potential accidental or criminal damage, ensuring the new building is fit for the future.”
Kate Perriss, estates manager at Northamptonshire Police, said: “While our new base is state-of-the-art on the inside, we also recognised the importance of securing the building’s exterior too. The products provided by Marshalls’ Landscape Protection help us do this effectively and subtly, without making the building imposing and enabling us to provide a modern office and workplace to support policing in the north of the county.”
