Overcoming the Challenges of Preston Approval

Preston City Council maintains a robust management plan for its parks and cemeteries to ensure all new furniture contributes to the city's long term character. To protect the integrity of sites like Haslam Park or the tranquil grounds of the Crematorium the council requires furniture of institutional quality that is sustainably sourced. Families often find the technical requirements for oil rich heartwood and the specific local authority application processes 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.
