Project

OrcaSpaces won the contract of working alongside main contractor Morrison Construction. They asked us to assist in the changing room refurbishment and replacing of the cubicle systems which weren’t as they expected.

Even with a huge distance to travel this was no problem for Orcaspaces. Our client gave us a very tight window in which to replace all the cubicles and the team arrived on-time, adhered to site rules and completed the job within timescale without any issue. Fantastic high quality product fitted beautifully and transformed the area. Our client is very happy.
