School days for tens of thousands of youngsters in North Yorkshire should be a little brighter from now on as a two-year programme of improvement works by Hull-based glazing specialists EYG approaches its conclusion.EYG Aluminium Curtain Walling

The award-winning company has been working in partnership initially with North Yorkshire County Council and more recently with Jacobs UK Ltd to refurbish windows, curtain walling and doors at 19 schools in Ripon, Harrogate, Knaresborough, Whitby, Scarborough, Filey, Malton and Selby.

The work, which began in 2006, has been worth in excess of £780,000 to the Hull firm and represents one of EYG's largest projects in the education sector.

EYG's commercial manager Cliffe Leach said: "Most people are aware of the EYG name because of the company's excellent track record in domestic glazing and conservatories, but this two-year programme demonstrates that we also have a considerable role to play in working with the public sector."

EYG was invited by NYCC in February 2006 to submit an interest in a partnering arrangement for the window replacement programme and became one of several companies to be appointed in a work-share arrangement. Last year, the Council appointed Jacobs UK to administer the project from its regional office at Northallerton.

Cliffe Leach said: "The original agreement was for one year but this was subsequently extended to cover the financial year to March 2008. During that time, we have refurbished either uPVC or aluminium windows, aluminium curtain walling and/or new aluminium doors to 19 schools throughout the North Yorkshire region.
