As previously mentioned this is not just a “paint over” project – The reason we are being totally transparent about the move and the project is we want to create a facility we can be proud off but also a point of difference – create a standard that makes Expac stand out from the crowd.

We have even made sure all the waste and debris we have taken from the building has been disposed of correctly / please find an example of the recycling report we get produced every week as you can see 99% of the rubbish has been recycled.

So in summary we are looking cleaner – It’s now a case of putting everything back to the highest standard – It is also pleasing to know we are still on budget and within in our time scale –

Till the next time – Thank you for following our journey – You don’t have to wait till we are finished to visit – If would like to look around at any time please do not hesitate to contact our business development team

Thank you -
