This is the first time we have used Shields in a major project at CPUK but definitely not the last. They provided a very efficient, safe and committed team to ensure this project was complete on time and without any safety issues. There were many hurdles thrown at the installation team but nothing was too much trouble, they responded very quickly to any demands placed upon them, ensuring a safe vertical start up. Once again may I take this opportunity to thank you and your team, it has been a pleasure working with you and I look forward to working together in the near future.
