Feedback from
our clients

The project was delivered successfully, on time and on budget. The delivery team were as prescribed in the pre-qualification stage, co-ordinated at director level throughout the project to a very high standard. Initial scoping meetings, arranged by Rand were extremely useful with early exchange of key information to improve accuracy of outturn reports. The Council was completely satisfied that Rand delivered to our project brief.

Really amazed with their knowledge!

A really useful training session, the exercises really helped with the learning.

An excellent and informative training course.

Great overview course to the M3NHF SORs and examples on how the rates are applied.

Chris was very knowledgeable and provided some valuable insight into what goes behind the M3NHF SOR rates

Chris was very impressive. His command of the subject and the pace and structure of his delivery, in what could have been a complex or dry material, was commendable. His manner of taking us through the material was adroitly presented with logic while keeping us engaged.
