Hilti Carrington Gateway

In March 2021, the team was appointed to deliver a complete fit out for Hilti at Carrington Gateway, Greater Manchester.

Hilti which services the professional construction industry by offering software for design, products and tools for work onsite, training, testing and consultancy, operated from its site at Bredbury but due to expansion, had outgrown this facility. Subsequently it secured new premises at Carrington Gateway, situated 10 miles to the south west of central Manchester.

The comprehensive fit out of the AEW designed new unit, extending to 104,000 sq ft, enabled the building to be tailored to the specific occupational needs of the Hilti team. The package included a 2-storey office fit-out, comprising of flexible working spaces to suit Hilti’s fluid approach to business. With the utilisation of feature joinery, AV and furniture, the new office boasts a number of different functionalities, with open plan collaborative zones, innovation rooms and breakout spaces just a few of the early design intentions.

The offices sit within a much larger open plan warehouse space, designed to accommodate the requirements of Hilti’s new distribution hub. The warehouse design was modelled around the bespoke racking system requirements carefully integrating mechanical, electrical and sprinkler installations to suit the specific tasks of the Hilti crew. LDC will be working closely with a number of Hilti’s familiar incumbents to effectively coordinate the different complexities of design and bring the build to life.
