We just wanted to say – THANK YOU for marking us high on service (again!)
Sometimes we forget to congratulate each other on our successes, and we just wanted to say thank you to all our clients who marked us so highly in the last round of our KPIs and to our team who are delivering the exceptional service. Getting scores of over 90% really means a lot to us. Our architects and EAs will celebrate this success and will continue to focus on the quality of our service to keep the scores high in the coming year. We don’t always get it right, but it always feels good to receive such positive feedback.
The winners are….
As part of our partnership with the University of Reading, we welcomed two teams of undergraduates who came to Hunters to present their projects. Shortlisted by the University, some of them will be offered placements. They came from the Quantity Surveying, Building Surveying and Construction Management departments. There was an overall winning team ‘Design and Build’. Well done to all.
