Testimonial
‘Our Garden Restaurant refurbishment project was carried out in a challenging live hospital environment. It was essential the service was kept open to visitors and staff during the works and ABS were always open to ideas to enable this. Consequently the scheme was executed smoothly & to programme whilst achieving quality.
We are particularly pleased with the new private dining / meeting room that is proving extremely popular.’
