HOPPE Tees Off at British Open Golf Course

The world's best golfers (including Tiger Woods and Paul Casey) will soon be getting to grips with handles from hardware supplier HOPPE (UK) at the Royal Birkdale Golf Club in Merseyside. The venue for The Open 2008 Championship, which dates back to 1889, was recently refurbished and ArcWare Architectural was asked to supply 10 pairs of brass finish lever handles and 22 pull handles from HOPPE's Paris range. The handles were fitted throughout the building in a contract worth £10,000.

ArcWare Architectural's Director Graham Rawcliffe says: ‘We buy from HOPPE because they supply us with high quality products which are second-to-none. The next day delivery service is 100% reliable. Companies who offer this kind of service are few and far between.’

ArcWare Architectural, based near Preston, is a leading supplier of Architectural Ironmongery to architects and specifiers in the commercial, public and domestic building sectors. The company is also growing sales via the internet. Around 50% of its business is generated online at http://www.handledesign.co.uk, 25% of which is from homeowners who can buy contemporary designer door handles previously only available to interior designers and architects.
