South Holland District Council

“We have used LHC’s framework arrangements to support us to deliver our Decent Homes programme, which has allowed us to work in partnership with the appointed companies to maximize the delivery of our programmed work. Work has started on site to meet our deadlines and we are able to plan the work with as little disruption to our residents. This procurement route has been a positive experience for us and has assisted us in working towards meeting decent homes in accordance with the government target in 2010.”

In essence, I would highly recommend use of LHC, Burley Windows and all the team."
