A Transformative Project for Crowne Plaza Leeds
Completed in October 2023, the Crowne Plaza Leeds refurbishment revitalised key guest areas, including the Bar & Restaurant, Lounge, Entrance Foyer, and External Terrace. This ambitious 16-week project required precision, coordination, and a commitment to minimising disruption in a busy hotel environment. J Lister Electrical Ltd, based in York, took on the critical electrical package, ensuring the modernised spaces were powered by safe, reliable, and cutting-edge systems.
J Lister Electrical’s Expertise in Action
J Lister Electrical Ltd’s role was central to the project’s success. Tasked with delivering the electrical infrastructure, their work encompassed the installation, maintenance, and testing of systems that supported the refurbished areas. From advanced lighting to power distribution, they ensured compliance with the 18th Edition I.E.E. wiring regulations (BS7671), delivering solutions that enhanced both functionality and ambiance.
Their team worked tirelessly within the tight 16-week timeline, navigating the challenges of a live hotel setting. Whether wiring the stylish new Bar & Restaurant or ensuring the External Terrace was ready for guests, J Lister Electrical demonstrated technical precision and adaptability. Their ability to coordinate with other contractors while accommodating the hotel’s operational needs was instrumental in keeping the project on track.
Client feedback from Valor Hospitality, the project’s overseer, underscored J Lister’s professionalism. They were praised for their excellent communication, strict adherence to safety protocols, and friendly, collaborative approach. The result? A project completed on time and within budget, delivering spaces that elevated the Crowne Plaza’s appeal.
