Driveways and Patios among finalists in Marshalls PLC contest

A COMPANY laying driveways and patios aims to go one better this year.

Rastrick-based Driveways and Patios is through to the national final of an annual competition run by Birkby-based paving supplier Marshalls PLC for its registered installers.

Driveways and Patios won one regional award in 2011 and two regional titles last year. Now the firm, run by father and son Chris and Adam Hallinan, hopes to go one better by winning an award at the national final to be held next Monday at Bagden Hall Hotel, Scissett.

The company, which is one of 20 finalists, was recognised for a project to lay a driveway at a house in Edgerton using Marshalls Cobbletech product a paving which replicates old stone cobbles.

Chris set up the company seven years ago having been a general builder for many years.

Competitors in the annual competition are judged by their fellow registered installers from other regions.

David Jessop, manager of the Marshalls register, who presented the regional certificate to the firm, said the Rastrick firm had previously been successful in regional award categories for best use of a new product and best driveway over 70sq metres. The national final features 10 categories.

Mr Jessop said: Cobbletech is something of a unique product which is proving very popular.
