“I’m always pleased to know that Labtek will be working on our projects. They’re really flexible to help us achieve often quite challenging targets. We recently completed a commercial fit-out project at Bank of America Bromley where Labtek went above and beyond to help meet the extremely ambitious deadline. Labtek’s team coordinated well and kept us up to date with all progress information, which made it easy to plan other trades to work alongside them. As a result, a team award has been put forward for the successful and timely delivery of the project. It was a big ask and grew considerably throughout. Without the strong commitment and dedication of Labtek, this wouldn't have happened.”
Stuart Mitchell Associate Project Director, CBRE - September 2023.
