With a little help from Gilbert Curry Industrial Plastics!

Leading West Midlands Perspex acrylic sheet supplier enables Jordan to complete flagship TV show renovation project for disabled children's charity

Even a top media personality like Katie Price aka Jordan needs a little specialist help sometime.

And not least when given just five days by a top TV programme in which to organise the total refurbishment of the outdoor facilities at one of the UK's most-utilised activity centres for disabled children.

Screened as part of ITV's prime viewing-time factual entertainment series: 'With A Little Help From My Friends', in which well-known celebrities are set the task of helping those less fortunate, Jordan's challenge was to renovate the swimming-pool and changing rooms at the Activenture Hindleap Warren Outdoor Centre (East Sussex) - assisted only by the voluntary labour of ex-school friends and the goodwill of manufacturers & product suppliers.

As one of the UK's largest stockists of engineering plastics and perspex acrylic sheet, Coventry based Gilbert Curry Industrial Plastics were on hand to provide over thirty 8' x 4' sheets of 2mm thick clear extruded acrylic sheets needed to glaze the roof of the pool area within the allotted time-frame.

Commented GCIP general manager Andy Cole: 'This was a good cause for which we felt whole-hearted support. We're glad to have been of help, and the stockholding team at GCIP has got quite a buzz out of being temporarily numbered amongst Jordan's friends in working against the clock on the Hindleap Warren project. It was an honour to supply our clear extruded acrylic sheet to help with such a worthwhile project'

Gilbert Curry Industrial Plastics holds over 50 different grades of plastic materials in stock, and specialises in supplying extruded acrylic sheet, Perspex acrylic sheet, Lexan polycarbonate and a range of engineering plastics for a variety of engineering, automotive, industrial and retail applications.

'With A Little Help From My Friends' was broadcast on ITV 1 between 5.55 - 6.55 pm on Saturday 27 November 2004
