Reference
"I can tell you today that the Client representatives have very sincerely expressed their thanks to the team for delivering such an outstanding project. Jason went to lengths to express that the approach of the whole Speller Metcalfe Team and Barrie Beard Ltd / DIS was absolutely fantastic, with a positivity to solving the inevitable problems that come up on a major project collaboratively and without a blame culture. He particularly commented that there wasn’t one weak link or ‘square wheel’ in the whole team and that everybody pulled together with the same positivity and purpose to deliver an excellent end result, which he thought was very rare. The University clearly think very highly of Speller Metcalfe and our supply chain, and I have been assured that we will be at the front of their thoughts for the project pipeline, of which they have assured me there will be many next years. Many thanks to all of you who have worked tirelessly on this project overcoming some major hurdles along the way and shown a huge sense of pride and ownership in what we have delivered. A great team effort to be very proud of."
