A great 6 months for Construction services...

Construction services have had a great 6 months and I could not be happier with the progress we have made. In the delivery of projects and the improvements on training for operatives and staff, the commercial team have worked extremely hard to secure the works for this year and all efforts will now be focused on the operational teams to deliver in these very challenging times with regards procurement and resource. I'm very confident in the team we have developed and grown.

We have continued to develop relationships with our existing clients and also with new clients. These relationships will be very important over the next six months with any lead time issues and changes to specifications to minimize these effects.

Schemes which are due to start shortly are - South Hunsley School, Kingswood Academy and Sewell FM multiple schemes

Thanks

Geoff

Progress so far

Works have now completed at Sherburn Hungate, including all snagging.
The team achieved very well on Considerate Constructors with a score of 35 on their first visit and 37 on their second. The school engagement has been very good and feedback has been fantastic!
This has been a joint effort where we have also delivered in house groundworks and represents the model we will be using going forward.

Whats coming up

The feedback from the client and the school has been exceptional and a great boost to the team members involved.
