we have demonstrated our ability to deliver a high
quality service to our clients.

The biggest success of last year was the development of two of our younger
members of staff. Ben Oliver – Trainee Mechanical Estimator bid and secured
his first project for us which was a massive personal success for him and the
business. The second was James Guy – Project Engineer who successfully
managed and completed a very challenging project called Cherry Gardens

Throughout 2019 we have a number of significant aims. Our strategy
to win work continues and with great success so far with over 70% of our
budget secured to date. Work will then continue to secure bids to meet the
