Customer Feedback
" John worked for me at the St Pancras International Station fit-out ( value 140m ). During this time John's experience, technical knowledge, team spirit and flexibility made him a valued member of the team (7) who could always be relied upon to offer good practical solutions when faced with a problem. John's background enabled the team to learn a great deal about the problems faced by scaffolders and those who work at height. His ability to build relationships with the contractors made overcoming difficulties with them easier to resolve. The attention to detail in his written reports made summarising problem areas simple, again offering solutions to consider. I have used him as a training consultant to deliver various courses including scaffolding awareness and inspection training. I would employ John again without hesitation. He is on my ' first call list'. "
