Image 1. Our very proud Director Richard Besant with Manoj Malde designer of the incredible 'Tackle HIV Challenging Stigma' garden. We powder coated all of the metal structures in the garden - the pagoda, the walkway, the feature walls, in 'Pearlescent Gold', a perfect backdrop for the plants and red ribbons all contributing to a stunning area for thought and contemplation.

Speaking at the garden’s launch Gareth Thomas CBE said, “I have experienced and heard first-hand stories of how deeply stigma and self-stigma affect people living with HIV and I am determined to change this. The garden is a celebration of how far science and medicine have advanced, but also a reminder of the work still to do to ensure public awareness and attitudes catch up.”
Images 3 and 4. We also coated the fabulous The Firepit Company ‘Outdoor Kitchen’ installations at the Chelsea Flower Show. The sleek black finish on the tabletop fire bowl, storage cabinet and preparation tables is Powdertech “Iced Coal”. The coating includes self-repairing anti-corrosion primers and has a high quality fine texture with best-in-class UV resistance for long-term outdoor use. Cleaning and maintenance is quick and easy – just a wash down with water is all it needs.
