Client’s Testimonial
The SJE team at Oxford Brookes worked with my team at all stages of a very challenging project. They always offered solutions when difficulties occurred and gave the project the personal attention that it needed. Quality issues were identified by the SJE management as work proceeded which made completion and handover more straightforward. I have enjoyed working with SJE on my last three projects and hope that I have an opportunity to work with them again.
