Following the introduction of the iCAM Supply scheme to Rydon in 2007, to generate business opportunities within the local borough, the North London Region of Rydon Maintenance have joined up with a local decorating firm, K&M Decorating Ltd, to assist in delivering the 5 year cyclical decoration programme to the Islington PFI1 street properties.

The scheme was initially set up to help local companies and organisations obtain the maximum economic benefits from major developments taking place in Camden and Islington. There were many practical benefits associated with appointing a local subcontractor for these works, including:

• The reduction in transport within the local borough.
• The reduction in parking/congestion.
• Greater flexibility and reliability of supply of materials to site from local companies.
• Better access to senior management and opportunity for face to face meetings.
• Support for the local economy.

Some of the first properties to be decorated following refurbishment in 2004 are located within Queen Margret Grove (photographed).

Glenroy Anderson, icam Supply Project Director was pleased to hear of the appointment of K&M by Rydon; "We are heartened to know that Rydon Maintenance are actively considering using local Islington companies as subcontractors, and we really do appreciate your recent appointment of one of our local companies (K&M). I trust your meeting with David McAlpine (icam Project Manager) will continue to be of mutual benefit and look forward to more good news about local supply chain awards in the future".
