“Working with CMC was a great experience all round. CDDO is very busy but the CMC team could always be trusted to carry on and deliver. They were always willing to deliver difficult and complex work, going above and beyond to achieve our goals. The quality of work produced by the team has been great across the large number of different artefacts required. Each member of the team inspired confidence both individually and as a team. We would absolutely engage CMC again.”
