The West Yorkshire-based fit-out specialist weathers market trends through a sustainable and socially responsible approach.
Hadley, a bespoke joinery and fit-out specialist based in West Yorkshire is enjoying a busy year of sustainable growth, with new clients in the museums and heritage sector and new talent in its team.
Since it was establishment over a decade ago, Hadley has gained a reputation for quality fit-out and bespoke joinery that’s a cut above the rest. New management in 2020 saw the company expand from modest supplier to major player in the world of specialist interior fit-out, growing its existing client base and securing new opportunities through enhanced operations and process.
Recent projects have shown the company’s reach in the museums and heritage sector, including delivery of major permanent and touring exhibitions with the Science Museum Group, bespoke joinery work at Leicester Cathedral and the Bowes Museum, and current exhibition fit-out work at the Natural History Museum and Tullie House. With recent market upheaval in exhibition fit-out supply, Hadley has proven the safe choice for efficient, high-quality delivery, with the added assurance of a strong commercial foundation.
Jamie Lavin, Managing Director of Hadley, commented: “It’s no secret that the museums and heritage supply industry is going through turmoil at the moment, with established names buckling under a difficult financial climate, and more teetering on the brink. Hadley offers a safer alternative through our approach to risk, sustainability and social value.”
A key factor in Hadley’s growth has been its ability to attract, nurture a retain talent on the shop floor. Known throughout the industry for the quality of its joinery and the variety of its work, Hadley has long attracted the very best craftspeople to work as part of its team – from skilled bench hand joiners, to site technicians, and everything in between. Apprenticeships and placements further support the company’s long-term approach to recruitment and support skills development for young people at the start of their industry career.
Jamie Lavin explains how important the workforce is to the company’s success. “Our team brings a depth of experience and skill that not only widens the possibilities of what we can achieve, but gives confidence to our clients that we will deliver. This summer we appointed new project managers, technical designers and interactive engineers to help us deliver projects in museums and heritage. We are always on the lookout for new people to add value to what we do.”
