This project is the 'National' Winner in the Regeneration & Retrofit category at the Constructing Excellence awards! This follows its previous 'Regional' (Wales) win. One of the facts contributing to the win of this award is how this project "Celebrates industrial heritage: The 12.5-acre site has 12 listed internationally significant industrial heritage buildings or structures across it." Congratulations again to the entire project team involved in delivering this outcome! It was a pleasure working on this project.

With the '𝘏𝘢𝘧𝘰𝘥 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘧𝘢 𝘊𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴 𝘙𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵' winning the Regeneration & Retrofit category at the Constructing Excellence in Wales Awards 2024, we’re excited to look back on this transformative project GJP completed for Penderyn Distillery. GJP successfully secured both Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent to transform the Grade II listed Hafod-Morfa building—once the powerhouse of Hafod & Morfa Copperworks which dominated Swansea’s copper industry —into a vibrant new distillery, barrel store, and visitor centre for Penderyn Distillery (see the below for a before and after). This remarkable refurbishment now includes a shop, tasting bar, exhibition space, whisky tours, offices, and a VIP bar, offering an immersive experience into Swansea’s rich industrial heritage. This council-led development initiative has brought new industry and visitors to the area, whilst promoting learning and understanding of the region’s past, helping to forge a new path for cultural and economic regeneration in the region. 💬 “ 𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘧𝘶𝘭, 𝘮𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘹, 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘦.” – Constructing Excellence, 2024 🗨 We’re proud to have been part of this successful project team!
