“Thanks to all the Tilbury Douglas team for their hard work and efforts to deliver the main school building in readiness for school occupation. Despite all the challenges within the industry’s supply chain and the continued impact of COVID the team managed to handover a building that was impressively high in standard – well done to you all.”

Simon Butler, Regional Managing Director of Building – Midlands at Tilbury Douglas, said:
