Last year we collaborated with Make Architects & Skanska to manufacture a remarkable new timepiece for 20 & 22 Ropemaker Street. Standing 400 ft tall, the clock now holds the title of the highest clock on any building in the UK. #tallestclock #ropemakerstreet

The iconic Potts of Leeds #Clock, originally gracing the Bute Docks Building (known as “The Pierhead Clock”) and now at home on #StMary’sStreet, has been refurbished by our team at #SmithofDerby and reinstalled last month by members of our team: Dean, Martin and Duncan.
