A Winning Redecoration Project for the Wolverhampton Wanderers!
05 December 2024
The Bagnalls team was thrilled to be selected to redecorate the Billy Wright stand at the Molineux Stadium for Wolverhampton FC. We won the contract through competitive tender and are pleased to be able to continue our positive working relationship with such a great customer!
Repainting the Billy Wright stand included the underside steel strips and handrails on the pitch side, while our operatives also refreshed the roof’s steelwork, working safely at a height of 100 feet.
The rear stand cantilever steelwork from the roadside, soffits to the roadside elevation and the corrugated cladding around the club shop were also part of the redecoration project. As one of our teams previously painted the Jack Harris stand, we were already familiar with all site protocols and paint specifications.
We quickly established a dedicated site team to deal with the complex nature of the work required. 80% of the project was external and therefore open to the famously temperamental British elements! We also had a tight deadline to meet due to the imminent start of the football season. Our dedicated team worked diligently to ensure that the project was delivered on time and to a high standard.
Stringent health and safety regulations are a huge part of every project but they were especially important here, with regards to the safe use of access equipment. All personnel working on the ground were ladder trained and Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) cardholders. Key team members also held IPAF licenses, allowing them to drive the required Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs).
Bagnalls also took this opportunity to offer our apprentices the chance to gain valuable experience working on such a prestigious project. A number of our talented apprentices painted the lower-level areas, an experience which went towards their portfolio of evidence for their End Point Assessment (EPA).
Stephen Sutton of Wolverhampton Wanderers FC was delighted with the final result, commenting: “The Bagnalls team was set a very tight deadline, due to the start of the football season. They all put 110% effort in to ensure that the project’s critical end date was met.”
