Commercial joinery firm Timtec International has completed a £200,000 project for perfume and fine foods retailer Crabtree & Evelyn.

The contract, completed in six weeks, involved refurbishment work at Crabtree’s factory outlet in Portsmouth and building a retail unit in Southampton.

Timtec managing director Paul Armitage, who recently led a management buyout of the firm (TTJ May 5), said: ‘The contract demonstrates Timtec’s flexibility to both refurbish existing timber furniture and fittings, and to construct new units to a design brief.’
