SOUTHAMPTON interior outfitters Trimline is gaining a growing reputation for work on retail outlets by completing two further projects for New Zealand-based children's clothing specialists Pumpkin Patch.

The contracts in Derby and Swindon followed the company's successful fitting out of Pumpkin Patch's shop in Southampton's WestQuay development.

Trimline's latest projects for the group have also expanded its scope of work. The interior outfittings for the Southampton store were shipped by container from New Zealand but the two latest contracts included Trimline carrying out all joinery manufacturing work at the company's in-house factory in Northam, Southampton.

Sales and marketing director Mike Oliver said: "The added value that we have created from opening our own joinery factory just over a year ago has been enormous. As a result of offering clients a better service, the factory throughput has grown rapidly.

From an initial two joiners, we are now employing seven tradesmen and we are looking at plans to extend the factory."
