Lord Lietenant of Essex cuts at the Marillac
A warm November morning marked the official commencement of the combined Marillac Centre refurbishment and new-build project. The focal point for this was the attendance of the Lord-Lietuenant of Essex to make the first ground cut.
Following a brief reception the party of Lord Petre, The Lord-Lieutenant of Essex; Andrew Casey, the Chief Executive of the Marillac; and Tony Battle, our Joint MD, were joined by staff and residents at an area adjacent to the site to witness the first cut.
The the project involves converting existing conventional bathrooms into wet rooms. Alongside this we are constructing a single storey extension block with eight bedsits and three diasbled access cottages.
Situated in Brentwood, Essex, the Marillac is a not for profit independent care home owned, maintained and administered by the Sisters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul, a Roman Catholic religious community founded to serve the physical and spiritual needs of people of all beliefs and cultures. It provides accommodation for persons who require nursing or personal care and treatment for disease, disorder or injury.

RSPB Marshland Discovery Zone wins RIBA 2011 Award
The Kind & Company constructed RSPB Marshland Discovery Zone has been included in the 2011 RIBA Awards list. Originally constructed in 2008 the centre recognises the value of using sustainable materials to create a stimulating, practical and sympathetic study environment.
The zone lies within the RSPB Aveley Marsh Nature Reserve, a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). As a result the works were undertaken with the close co-operation of RSPB experts to ensure minimal disruption to the
environment.
The project involved the installation of viewing and sanitary facilities constructed from adapted shipping containers mounted on timber piles and interconnected with timber boardwalks.
