Niteworks reports record first quarter demand

Niteworks has achieved its best ever first quarter performance reporting its highest ever commitment to new projects.
Managing Director Simon Jewell said: ‘Many factors have contributed to this achievement but I am well aware that the success of any organisation is largely attributable to its people. The dedication demonstrated by the Niteworks team is reflected in the demand for its services. We start 2012 in a strong position to support MOD transition to its new operating model. Although we work in challenging times this should not prevent us from recognising success along the way. Thank you to everyone involved for their commitment.’
