ONE-STOP APPROACH Commenting, Alistair Nevin, Contracts Manager for Dowds said, “This project started in the middle of the first Covid-19 lockdown and presented a real challenge to us, our sub-contractors and suppliers as we strived to deliver the project in the midst of a global pandemic. Suppliers were either closed or on skeleton working so production levels were nearly non- existent and estimated material deliveries times could not be relied upon.” “It is testament to the resolve of our suppliers and sub-contractors that we battled on to get the project carried out
