Darfen Solution
The John Smith's Grand National at Aintree Races is the number one racing occasion which attracts thousands of race goers each year to experience the great British sporting event.
With a brand new equestrian centre opened just last year the final external works needed to be completed before the arrival of both horse & jockey in the run up to the big race.
Darfen North West have carried out many installations for Aintree Races in the past and are very familiar with the most suitable products to meet their security requirements. When Aintree asked for a speedy service the branch were able to provide a very quick turnaround.
All materials were ordered, manufactured, supplied and installed in just a few weeks. The fixers also carried out a range of other works such as repairs and welding.
By the time the Grand National arrived, the installation team had completed all works on site so that it was a safe and secure area for all.
