The Company
Our client is a growing and ambitious MandE contractor based in Berkshire, with over 10 years of trading history and a strong reputation across the commercial sector.
Having grown significantly to a team of over 30 employees and a fleet of 19 vehicles operating across the region, the business is now investing heavily in its MandE division as it continues its journey towards becoming a full MandE provider.
The company works predominantly along the M4 corridor, with only occasional projects in London, and has built an impressive portfolio of commercial clients across the education, leisure and office sectors.
