Minor works manager at the £46 million turnover firm, Sam Robertson, said: “We understand the time pressures when it comes to working in the education sector. We have such a short timeframe in the school holidays to get everything done to the highest standard in time for the first day back in September!
“Hull College, Hull Esteem, Hull City Council and the East Riding of Yorkshire Council have been clients for many years because we never over promise or under deliver. We are very proud of these recent projects, which ultimately provide a better environment for young people to learn and grow.”
Hobson & Porter also completed two projects in North Yorkshire for York City Council. Sam added: “We have also carried out £428,000 worth of re-roofing works to Huntington Primary School and Elvington Primary School that will ensure the longevity of the buildings for many years to come. Our expertise and commitment to providing the best possible return on investment for the education sector is what makes us stand out from our competitors and it is why we keep winning work at nurseries, schools and colleges across the region.”
