Over the last 4 years that we have been working with ABS they have successfully refitted/refurbished 12 stores, each with lots of different challenges along the way. What always amazes me about ABS is their ability to adapt to every situation that presents itself and the resourceful way in which they are able to solve problems.

Most of our sites have been new builds that often require a huge amount of detail, especially around odour control, drainage, and specialist equipment. ABS are second to none when it comes to collaborating with specialists contractors and developers to overcome problems and continue to help keep the projects on track, on budget, and to a high specification.

These guys have a great understanding of the food industry too. You can be sure ABS are the right team to help you create the right scheme for your customers, a spot on design to ensure food safety is never compromised, and to provide you with great counsel to ensure health and safety is never compromised.

Tony and his team worked really hard to make the project flow as smoothly as possible. When we hit hiccups they always had a solution and we found them honest and upfront. We probably weren’t the easiest client as we hadn’t done a project of this scale before and had a very specific ‘look and feel’ we were going for. They helped us achieve this and got the project completed well on time. Feel free to come and have a look- we never get tired of a complement on our gorgeous work environment we created! Now on to our next project together…. my house!

In 2014 we set out exciting new plans to rebrand all our 35 fast food stores at a fairly aggressive rate, and so I knew we would need to appoint a building contractor that we could trust. We researched long and hard to find the right company and carried out a tendering process to which The ABS Group clearly stood out as competitive but also quality focused. The delivery of the projects to date have been outstanding! Nothing is ever too much trouble and the team at ABS have really helped us to value engineer the projects and create a shop fit that stands out from the crowd. I would highly recommend them and in fact already have on several occasions!

Tony and the ABS Group went out of their way to ensure a smooth running project against all the odds. The team were flexible and accommodating in order to meet tight deadlines with the minimal amount of fuss. In a difficult, multi-phase project, organisation was crucial to maintain the day-to-day operation of the staff and disruption was therefore kept to an absolute minimum.
