Beko and Bradfords Team Up for Green Weymouth Development

Beko is one of the biggest selling major domestic appliance brands in the UK and has been specified for a luxury development at Officers Field, part of Osprey Quay in Portland, Weymouth

Officers Field, a new £11 million residential project of 58 contemporary and highly sustainable two, three- and four-bedroom homes, has been developed by ZeroC Holdings and built by Acheson Construction.

The Verwood, Dorset branch of Bradfords Building Supplies will install the kitchens, and Beko will supply a range of built-in appliances, including ovens, hobs, fridge freezers and dishwashers.

The decision to specify Beko appliances for this project was clear from the outset. “We specified the Beko range of appliances because of the eco-friendly nature of the Officers Field development,” says Denise Hopkins, Contract Kitchen & Bathroom Supervisor at Bradfords.

“As we needed to use reliable, smart and cost-efficient appliances, the Beko brand was an automatic choice. We have used them on major developments over the past three years, with total confidence in the products and in the company’s excellent after-sales service. We know we can rely on Beko’’.

Sustainability and energy efficiency is key

Throughout this build the emphasis has been on sustainability. Using high quality materials, these residential units have been constructed to meet Level 4 of the Code for Sustainable Homes. The units, most of which have coastal views, are built around a green to provide low energy, low carbon contemporary living in an environmental setting.

In terms of specification, all materials used - from timber and insulation to kitchens and bathrooms - were chosen for durability and their reduced impact on the environment. The kitchens will be fully fitted with Beko’s built-in range of low energy appliances, including integrated hob, oven, extractor hood and fridge/freezer. Some homes will also include built-in dishwashers and built-in washer/dryers.

The Officers Field development combines style with sustainability on a number of levels. This includes reducing carbon and minimising energy and water bills through the installation of the latest energy-saving technologies – which is why Beko’s built-in appliance range was chosen for this highly contemporary development.
