"You may recall the last time we met I addressed you and the directors of the key contractors to stress the importance of meeting our project completion date and you pledged your full support. You also thanked me for 'asking nicely' rather than adopting a 'table thumping' attitude which, in your experience, was the more usual approach.

It is now my turn to thank you. We did meet our operational date for the winter schedule and this was in no small part due to the efforts of your company."

"Adenstar Developments Ltd have carried out many major civil engineering projects for us during the last ten years. These include a £4m contract at Sovereign Harbour, Eastbourne, the £2.2m Western Distributor Road at Burgess Hill, a roundabout on the A281, and site access road at Henfield value £600,000 and estate developments at Epsom, Brighton, Barnham and Ightham. The roads were usually adopted by the County Council and the work was supervised by them.

Adenstar have always proved to be a well organised and efficient company and they achieve a high standard of workmanship. The work was completed to programme and the final account settled without difficulty and within budget.

We have no hesitation of recommending the company for any similar contracts in the future."

"The project meetings were conducted in a fair, professional and enjoyable manner and the quality of the finished product was good. Equally important, we were impressed with the tidiness of the site throughout the programme and that it was accident free."

"I can say how delighted I have been with the work undertaken by Adenstar, the manner in which it has been carried out and the general co-operation we have received from you and your colleagues. This was not the easiest of projects to get underway but once we were on site, it was run smoothly and efficently without any major difficulty."

"Adenstar Developments Ltd. recently completed a contract to concrete block pave approximately 25,000 sq metres of cargo terminal.

"RE: PHASE II INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS, HOLDER ROAD, ALDERSHOT

Just a short note to say how pleased I was with the way that your company addressed this project. The contract was completed well within programme and contract sum and the quality of final construction is extremely good. I must commend your site agent both for his approach and for his very apparent abilities."

"I am writing with reference to the construction of the new Library and Learning Centre which your company has recently completed at this College.

All our staff were impressed by the high quality and thorough workmanship of your staff who worked here. The overall management of the contract, both on and off site, was conducted smoothly and efficiently. We very much appreciated how your staff, in particular the site manager, Alex Gibbons, were always concerned to minimise the impact of the building work upon the activities of the College and to communicate with our own staff on a regular basis.

We are delighted with the finished product and have received appreciative comments from students and visitors."

"Following the recent completion of the above project I would like to take this opportunity to pass on my comments with regard to the management of these works. The site manager for these works controlled the day to day activities of Adenstar employees and sub-contractors safely and efficently, and managed all issues on site in a professional, courteous and practical manner. The timescales for the completion of this project were very tight, and the committment and efforts certainly contributed to the sucessful, on-time completion of these works."

"Following your recent contract completion, subject to a final site inspection and sign off with your Foreman, we write to compliment your management and site operatives on the completion of the works at the above project.

The groundworks and structural repair packages, which you assisted in designing, were the most challenging elements of what is a complex project, these works were completed in a timely and professional manner, the quality of the finished product being of a very high standard.

We would like particularly to commend you on the quality of your site management and office back up and have forwarded your details to our procurement department together with a strong recommendation that you are invited to tender for future works that fall within your scope and area of operation."

"It was very obvious right from the start that you were very focused on the needs of the school to operate while the building was being built along with health and safety implications. In this respect, it was especially pleasing to see that you saw the initial few weeks of the contract as particularly difficult and you used extensive resources over the Autumn half term holiday to give the project a real kick start while the children and staff were on holiday.
