The UK's First 24/7 Building Materials Supplier - Nicholls & Clarke

Construction News Image
During the London 2012 Olympics this summer, British supplier and manufacturer, Nicholls & Clarke will be helping to keep the building trade on the move as the UK’s first building materials supplier to remain open for collections 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

As a world spectacle, the city’s resources will be heavily utilized so it is imperative for public facilities and businesses (especially hotels and restaurants) in and around the UK to be maintained in order to uphold a high level of standards whilst the UK is being showcased to the rest of the world. Universal attention will be focused on the capital city this summer as we count down the days until the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympics Games commence. London is anticipating extra congestion, traffic and road restrictions with public transport expected to be significantly busier than usual.
