Overcoming the Challenges of Wakefield Approval

Wakefield Council maintains a robust management plan for its parks and bereavement services to ensure all new furniture contributes to the district's long term character. To protect the integrity of sites like Pugneys Country Park or the tranquil grounds of Pontefract Cemetery the council requires furniture of institutional quality that is sustainably sourced. Families often find the technical requirements for oil rich heartwood and the specific 10 year leasehold terms to be a significant barrier. We bridge this gap by providing the council with a comprehensive trade data pack. This documentation confirms our Grade A teak is 100% FSC certified proving your memorial is a 25 year asset designed for public safety.
