📢 Case Study- The Halley Academy- Replacement of Windows and External Doors 📢 Leigh Academies Trust selected Barker for their expertise in managing complex heritage projects and their proven track record in delivering high-quality building improvements. The project involved replacing inefficient single-glazed metal-framed crittall windows and doors with modern double-glazed aluminium-framed alternatives. A big thank you to Glenn Wadsworth for his assistance with this project, case study and for the amazing testimonial he provided for Barker 👏 "We are delighted with the new windows and doors at The Halley Academy. They have significantly improved the building's aesthetics and energy efficiency, resulting in cost savings and a more comfortable environment for our students and staff. Barker Associates expertly managed the entire project, from obtaining necessary planning approvals and listed building consent to minimising disruptions during installation."

📢Case Study: OLICAT Estates Transformation Programme📢 Barker has a long-standing partnership with Our Lady Immaculate Catholic Academies Trust (OLICAT). After OLICAT’s transition to SCA, Barker continued to support the Trust in modernising their school estates. Barker conducted condition surveys to help OLICAT understand the state of their buildings and the funding needed for repairs and upgrades. Using the EO Portal, they identified and prioritised critical projects to ensure compliance with statutory guidelines. This collaborative approach allowed them to tender work packages efficiently, achieving cost savings and value for money. Read the full story here: https://zurl.co/sF0P5
