Testimonials
Innovative ways
Moortown were with us from start to finish including completing the groundworks, superstructure slabs, lift core and the external paving. Throughout the entire project the service was excellent from a safety, quality and programme perspective. Moortown delivered within a site that was very constrained and worked with us to complete the project using innovative ways. The team were always well supervised and worked in a collaborative approach with ourselves and our other subcontractors on site. Many thanks.

Partnering mentality
Since first meeting on this Project, Moortown Group have demonstrated an out and out partnering mentality and this continued throughout the Project. Your turnaround on this Project has not gone unnoticed. Your team who delivered those works did so in record speed and should be rightly praised for doing so. For me, this is how we should be working and Moortown are, currently, a leading indicator of what good looks like! Well done guys and thank you for your continued support.
