Testimonials
Firstly, can I say a big thank you to you and your team for the work you have done this year in turning out our facilities to such a high standard. On speaking to parents the other week they are very impressed with our fields, in comparision to others that they have seen.
Chris Steele
Director of PE and Dance, Sir William Stanier Community School
During the recent bad weather, the support you have given Cicely Haughton School to enable us to stay open has been great. In previous years, we would have needed to close far more than the two days we have lost this year. Not only has the practical work completed been impressive but the manner and co-operation of all personnel on site has been first class.
Nigel Phillips
Headteacher, Cicely Haughton
Thank you to you and your staff for the service provided over the period of bad weather. It was excellent, nothing was too much trouble for your staff – they are a credit to the company. You helped to keep our school grounds safe for our staff and pupils. The grounds maintenance contract you have provided to us over the years has also been delivered to a high standard.
