Lowry, Business Development, said. “With the challenges of a live theatre environment and public interaction, being able to handle these challenges effectively and efficiently without causing any disruption to the works was certainly satisfying. “Completing a project of this bespoke nature and size, all the while ensuring that the theatre is still operational and that there is minimal disruption to the visitor experience definitely makes it stand out in our project portfolio. “We enjoyed working with both the client and sub-contractors on the project, and developed a close relationship with both during the construction period. This made overcoming the challenges easier, as we worked collaboratively as a team to successfully deliver the scheme on time, to budget and a high quality standard. Graham added, “Reconfiguring
