This year is already flying by, with projects progressing right across the UK ✈️

Recently, we visited Wood Field Primary School in Sutton, London, alongside our Commercial Director for London & the South, Dean Shaw.

We’ll be back a little further down the line for part two, where we’ll share an update on the project’s progress.
