Slip testing in Stoke-on-Trent
Stoke-on-Trent's slip-test demand reflects the city's industrial and ceramic-manufacturing heritage alongside a substantial healthcare and education sector. The Royal Stoke University Hospital, Staffordshire University, and the wider North Staffordshire industrial belt between them generate most of our work in the city.
What drives slip-test demand here
Industrial and manufacturing testing is unusually significant in Stoke compared with similar-sized cities — the ceramic, glass and engineering manufacturers across the six towns. Healthcare covers UHNM NHS Trust. Education centres on Staffordshire University. Retail concentrates on intu Potteries and the Hanley town centre.
Familiar territory
Familiar environments include Stoke-on-Trent station, the Potteries Museum and the bet365 Stadium hospitality.
Climate and the local slip-risk profile
