Mansfield-based Deanestor, one of the UK’s leading furniture and fit out specialists, has been awarded a £2.3m contract for a major new student accommodation scheme in London.

The contract follows Deanestor’s successful delivery of three earlier fit-out contracts for urbanest student living projects.
