Client Feedback;
Jim Smith, Head Teacher at Clevedon School commented…
“Fineline delivered a solution that works, is dry and warm (which was a main concern) and has meant we have been able to keep all our students in school learning.
Their experience from working with clients who need something to be ready at an exact time and to an exact specification was evident as they provided the perfect one-stop shop from design and procurement to installation and handover with all the necessary health and safety requirements expected of the school.
As a result of excellent communication, sage guidance and using an on-site Project Manager, they have been exceptionally easy to work with, delivered the solution with zero impact on school life and gone above and beyond to make our Learning Village a place where people want to be!”
