national delivery

As a UK-wide contractor, we combine national capability with a truly local presence. Our teams and offices are perfectly placed to cover every county throughout England and Wales, underpinned by the strength of nine major regional offices, all fully resourced and closely integrated with their local economies. Wherever you work with us, you can be sure of a partnership with a privately owned, financially stable, national company – while delivery is carried out by local people who understand both you and the local environment.

  • National specialists. Our UK core teams drive best practice and seamless delivery across all areas of operation, boosting performance and supporting employment and training in the communities in which we work.
  • Proven quality. 77% of our business comes from repeat customers and we are making steady progress towards our target of achieving 90% in 2012.
  • Trusted partner. Demonstrating the real value we are trusted to deliver time and again, we are involved in numerous major frameworks across the UK, including Partnership for Schools, Home Office, Ministry of Justice, plus various councils, universities and many more.
  • Exceptional performance. Strong governance at board level, excellent business processes and effective performance monitoring ensure that all our customers benefit from delivery certainty and value creation: on time and on budget, every time.
