CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

“Blackpool and The Fylde College are delighted with the transformational change to the seven-storey landmark Cleveleys Building which was completed on time and within budget by d+b facades.

The project was delivered around the normal working operations of a live College site and we were pleased not to have lost any teaching and learning time throughout the entire construction period thanks to d+b’s approach to careful planning.

We hope to undertake future over-cladding projects at the College in forth-coming years and would welcome d+b being part of the project delivery team”.
