    This is my second time working with Shanco. As this is a live prison, it’s taken a momentous effort to organise staff bookings and deliveries, and a good team effort has been achieved due to their positive attitude. Access/clearance has been a challenge, and the coordination of deliveries by Shanco has been fantastic. This has been such a crucial part of the running of the site, it has made my job far easier. 

    The relationship with security and the OSGs is also very crucial, Shanco has adhered to the policies and has also helped tremendously in this regard. Their QA and HSE procedures are well documented and have been complimented on by our relevant departments.

    We have faced many challenges together as a team, their proactive approach has been of great assistance, and the project is ahead of programme thanks to them. I would certainly recommend Shanco for any future projects in the MoJ department, or any other site projects.

We contribute to care homes and organizations that provide essential services to the elderly and vulnerable. Our involvement ranges from upgrading facilities to providing resources that enhance the quality of care.

Each year, our team participates in events like the Leeds Half Marathon to raise funds for various charities. These events not only bring our team together but also allow us to contribute financially to causes we care about deeply. Our commitment goes beyond financial support; we aim to raise awareness and encourage more community participation in these vital charitable efforts.
