Mansell has completed the National Grid's Training and Office Facility ahead of schedule.

This £2.1 million project involved the creation of a new two-storey training facility for the National Grid in Nottinghamshire.

The facility provides the National Grid with office space, classrooms and workshops. A six-tonne overhead gantry crane within the main workshop area was also installed.

This development completed 1.5 weeks ahead of schedule through the dedication of the team. Throughout the project, all works were carefully planned and effective methods of communication were established with the customer prior to commencement. This ensured that construction activities had a minimal impact on the occupied area, surrounding properties and local businesses within the village.

Praise from Keith Stockley, Project Manager, National Grid Co plc: "I have worked with other large building contractors and this is the first time I have worked with Mansell. I must say Mansell are far superior to any other contractor I have worked with."
