Client Testimonial

‘I have had the pleasure of working alongside ChandlerKBS colleagues in a trusted and collaborative relationship since May 2018, in the capacity initially as Senior Programme Manager, then Rail Infrastructure Director at Transport for Wales. Throughout this time, ChandlerKBS has supported TfW across various disciplines, throughout differing directorates of the company.  These disciplines have ranged from estimating, quantity surveying, procurement and commercial; the project management discipline spanning all grades; to project controls staff providing risk, programme and support services.  In later years, ChandlerKBS have been key in assisting with business continuity planning, as well as organisational development.

 To present day, ChandlerKBS maintains a core presence of staff that work hand-in-hand with TfW colleagues, strengthening our delivery capability and allowing a healthy cross-pollination of skills and knowledge transfer, across all disciplines. Supported by a backbench of senior, industry experienced professionals in their head office, ChandlerKBS have remained flexible to meet TfW’s work commitments and as required, will draw on industry to find the best solution to meet the client’s requirements.’
