During April there were a number of developments onsite.
The concreting of the floors was now complete and work begun on inserting the partition walls on each of the three floors.
The steel framework for a walkway has been constructed from the 2nd floor mezzanine across to the tower. The walkway will eventually be turned into a glass walkway creating a bird’s eye view of the reception area below and the west wall stained glass window.
The construction of the lift shaft is complete with mechanisms and fittings to follow during the final stages of the construction program.

A Billboard on the roadside has been erected to mark the new era and signify a new beginning for the building. The billboard features contact details and information on the recently launched Talking Point website – http://www.thetalkingpoint.com/.

The steel framework is now in place and the builders have begun to insert the flooring.
Armitage have dug the area out where the lift shaft will be built and work has begun on the construction of the lift shaft.
