There were several challenges which everyone worked together to resolve,” explained Managing Partner James Henderson. “Main contractor JPM was a key part of this, drawing on their experience of working on historic projects, and their flexibility, positive attitude, and non- adversarial approach.” James noted the project was very interesting given the history and legacy of the building and surrounding area. “It was great to see the building re-purposed and given a new lease of life. The mission of retaining the original features and pumping equipment for the dry dock
while constructing a working distillery within the structure was particularly interesting and challenging,” he added. Skope Projects is no stranger to heritage projects and has worked on other iconic buildings in Belfast, such as Murray’s Exchange, which houses the company’s office, the recently opened Ewart, in Bedford Street, and the Templemore Baths.
