Client: Unite Group
Contractor: Mansell Construction Services Ltd
Type of works: supply of a Safety Letterbox bespoke, quality and low-maintenance mail system.

Stylish mailboxes for student accommodation buildings in south-east London have been manufactured and installed by The Safety Letterbox Company, the UK’s leading manufacturer of secure mailing systems.

Specified for their robustness, aesthetics and ease-of-use, the 180 H1 Lateral free-standing mailboxes in red are a distinctive ground-floor solution for the two multi-storey blocks in Great Suffolk Street.

Contractor Mansell Construction Services Ltd has transformed the former pottery site into 230 student accommodation units for the Unite Group, a developer and manager of student housing. The £18 million scheme features one six-storey block with 102 apartment units and office space, while the 13-storey tower behind comprises 128 studios and one-bedroom flats.

SLBC’s fitting team worked closely with both clients to deliver a bespoke, quality and low-maintenance mail system to suit residents’ requirements. The installation was completed on budget and on time, ready for opening in autumn 2010.

John Horgan, Mansell’s Senior Project Manager, comments: “The Safety Letterbox Company’s service combines expertise and high standards in mailbox installation. Their team operates professionally on site and I would be happy to recommend the company to others and use them on future sites.”

The project is another example of how SLBC meets architects’ specifications with its extensive manufacturing expertise to realise the client’s vision with visually appealing products to suit any site profile, location and budget within the public and private sectors.
