Just cast your mind back to your childhood days, going on a car journey any longer than 30 minutes was a big deal.

In these very unusual times, it brings to mind some interesting reflections…I will never forget the time I got caught in a strong ocean current whilst snorkelling off a glass-bottomed boat in Barbados.

2019 feels already like a distant memory. We cast our minds back to when we spoke to a number of employees from across the business
Construction is well underway and nearing completion of the first Canopy hotel by Hilton in the UK, on this prime site in Aldgate, London.
The redevelopment of the site is an important step in the regeneration and expansion of the core fabric of the City of London eastwards beyond the confines of Aldgate. With a view to re-structuring the fabric of this area due to its inconsistency both physically and socially, a masterplan has been developed which comprises some new construction alongside utilisation of existing buildings, whilst leaving the adjacent bus station unaffected.
We are delighted to have been recently awarded the contract for the Rose Court scheme.
Engaged firstly by Colliers prior to appointment of the Main Contractor, and working closely with BDG architecture + design, this commercial office building is in need of extensive refurbishment including a new facade to improve the performance of the existing building and provide high quality workspace throughout.
