Queens Retail Park is a brand new, state-of-the-art shopping centre that has recently been developed in the heart of Preston. The new shopping centre began construction in 2016 and has since grown to include a variety of new, leading stores. Two of the most recent additions to this innovative retail outlet are Smyths Toy Store and Energi Trampoline Park.

Energi Trampoline Park is a growing trampoline company originally based in Yorkshire. Its latest premises have crossed over the Pennines to Preston, where they can be found at the Queens Retail Park. Smyths Toy Store is one of the UK’s leading toy and entertainment shops, who have also recently taken up residence at the new retail park.

At Ruukki, we were honoured to be asked to supply our panels on-site to assist with the construction of these two new developments. These neighbouring units were built using our SP2D 100W sandwich panels at a width of 1000mm and also included the highly protective HIARC coating. Each building had its own colour scheme for the panels, individually matching the brand colours.

Our panels are highly energy efficient and protective; they also leave the façade appealing and attractive to potential customers. We were no strangers to this site as we have already supplied similar panels to Aldi and Costa, who also have units in this busy retail park.
