The £88 million new Boeing service hangar at Gatwick will maintain new generation aircraft operating long-haul routes from the airport. It will handle 787 Dreamliners flown by several airlines using Gatwick.

The airport at Gatwick has partnered with Boeing on the project investing £16 million to prepare vehicle access and aircraft taxiway systems to the hangar to bring the cost to more than £100 million.

Boeing have chosen Display Developments to manufacture a large number of mobile illuminated workstations and job card racks.

Malcolm Chester, the Technical Sales Manager of Display Developments, says the company is delighted to add Boeing to their long list of major Aircraft Maintenance clients and agrees with UK Transport Secretary Chris Grayling who stated on his recent visit to the site that “The aviation industry plays a critical role in the UK economy and I welcome Boeing’s decision to make such a significant investment at Gatwick”.

For further information on their range of workstations and job card racks you can contact a member of the Display Developments team.

Display Developments have recently purchased and installed a Geiss 5 Axis CNC machine in their 22,000 sq ft production facility in Belvedere, SE London.

The new machine will enable the company to significantly increase its range of services, but specifically trim large vacuum formings quickly and with significantly greater accuracy.

The machine has a 2000mm x 1000mm fixed table and a moving gantry. This guarantees an extremely high level of stability and at the same time keeps the floor space required to a minimum. The 6 Axis CNC Head operates in a self-contained enclosure with a sophisticated extraction system for swarf and dust.

Stephen Graham, Managing Director of Display Developments, believes that the acquisition of this new machine proves that, despite current economic uncertainties, there is a promising future for British manufacturing as long as there is ongoing investment.

Display Developments are a leading UK fabricator and former of plastic products, both bespoke Engineered Parts as well as Point Of Sale and Display Units. In addition, they manufacture and distribute an extensive range of standard display products to an extremely wide customer base.

Camden Town Brewery is a London based brewer founded in 2010 and it specialises in brewing a range of craft beers. It has rapidly expanded and in 2017 Camden Town Brewery completed the construction of a new brewery in Enfield by the banks of the River Lee, 12 miles north of their Kentish Town brewery.

The Brewery has recently launched a new lager to add to their extensive range of craft beers. Show Off Lager is being marketed under the tag THE LOOK-AT-ME LAGER. Described as refreshing, but capable of so much more, the Brewery say they are proud to show off all the things their favourite beer style can be. Crisp and clean but also hoppy and juicy!!

Display Developments are manufacturing the Show Off Lager beer pump badges for the Brewery. The pump badges are manufactured in a special 3mm white Perspex to optimise LED illumination, then screen printed with 5 colours and a protective clear lacquer. The shapes were then precision machined to either round or oval shapes on one of our specialist CNC machines.

Emirates, an airline based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, have recently commissioned a number of bespoke hangar workstations from Display Developments. The airline is the largest operator in the Middle East with over 3,600 flights per week from its hub at Dubai International Airport. Emirates operates a mixed fleet of Airbus and Boeing aircraft and is one of the few airlines to operate an all wide body fleet.

Slimline Workstation

A slimline version of the standard mobile workstation was required for their maintenance hangars to ensure maximum mobility. Metal job card racks were mounted on the back walls of the units to maximise the storage capacity and the two racks combined provide a total of 56 job card pockets.

Display Developments are the leading manufacturer of Hangar Workstations and Job Card Racks for the aircraft maintenance industry and have recently completed large manufacturing projects for a number of major airlines including Qatar Airways, Etihad, BAMC and JET2.

In recent years Paris has seen a huge growth in restaurants offering foreign cuisine. The days when moules frites and steak tartare were the standard options are now gone forever. Parisians and tourists can now choose from an extensive array of ethnic restaurants. Whether you fancy sushi or tacos, empanadas or Vietnamese pho you will find it on the streets of Paris and it could be argued that Parisian cuisine has ceased to be very French.

To add to this wide choice there is now a British option too. The appropriately named L’Entente, Le British Brasserie recently opened its doors on Rue Monsigny, close to the Bourse and the Palais Royale. L’Entente offers an eclectic mix of high quality typically British plates such as shepherd’s pie or sausage and mash followed by apple crumble, all washed down with a glass or two of finest English wine.What better way can there be to promote a British menu than by choosing a superb quality British made polished brass menu display case with LED illumination. Silvercases the high quality hospitality display brand from Display Developments based in Belvedere, Kent have been manufacturing polished brass menu cases since 1970 and they have long been the menu case of choice for an ever growing number of hotels and restaurants across Europe.

For more information on this impressive range of menu cases please contact one of our eperienced sales advisors on 01322 444400.
