“A big massive huge thank you for all your help throughout this amazing project, we really could not have asked any more from anybody... this is, without doubt, one of the proudest moments in my working career, if what we have achieved in just two weeks saves one life, then every hour and every minute we all put into this was worth it.”

Our extensive experience at Morriston Hospital working with Swansea Bay UHB has served us well and we are committed to doing all we can to support the NHS in its fight against COVID-19. These are unprecedented times and I’m proud of our employees, who volunteered to support our NHS clients during this crisis. It has been a team effort and I’m incredibly thankful for our key supply chain and suppliers who have all had to work flexibly and adapt to this rapidly changing situation.
Strategic Account Director - Interserve Construction
“After some debate and discussion about which contractors would be best placed to deliver these schemes, I threw Interserve Construction’s hat into the ring. The next morning, I was told we had been awarded the largest of the surge sites - up to 4,000 beds at Birmingham’s NEC."

"The team effort has been incredible. We’ve been working with suppliers to procure materials as quickly as possible and get the works done in time. We needed to mobilise immediately and have a team working 24/7 in shifts to ensure we deliver this for the NHS.

This meant our team could adapt very quickly and we started the new works the very same day."
