Hartlepower Community Interest Company runs a micro business centre in Greenbank, Stranton, Hartlepool. We offer facilities to community organisations, charities, small businesses and house the Hartlepower Community Trust voluntary development team who offer support to all community organisations within the town. Our existing ramp access to the building was beyond economic repair and was essential for those with limited mobility who use our building on a regular basis.
We required an economical solution, a complete replacement was beyond our funding capabilities. Luckily, a chance encounter in the North Sea between sea swimming buddies, one a Director of Hartlepower and the other, a Manager of BM Steel led us to using GRP as an ideal solution.

PRODUCTS USED
With the help of a local Joiner, we were able to completely refurbish our access ramp using 28mm deep solid top gritted grating. Now have a fantastic sturdy, nonslip and attractive end product, which gives us a new ramp and a new set of stairs to our building. We are very pleased with the decking product, the on-site advice we received from Ian Campbell, and the quality of the final solution. We’ve also had very positive feedback from our users.
