    Customer Feedback from the sector

    • David Uttley, Site Manager
      The team at Shanco have been a pleasure to work with. I have found them proactive at all stages of the project, giving good advice from the design stage to ensuring the programme is delivered on time. What I find most beneficial is the full package approach, having a Site Engineering team on hand has been invaluable, and their Site Operatives are first-class at delivering high-quality work on programme.

    • Dale Green, Project Manager

      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... 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.
