TESTIMONIALS

What our client say

McL&H have engaged HBP since 2019 to complete both subcontracted measured works and plant and labour supply on our Devonshire Dock Quay Project at BAE Systems in Barrow-in-Furness. To date HBP have proven to be a valuable member of the supply chain and have been integral to the successful completion of groundworks on the project. HBP have managed excavations, heavy demolition and material supply in line with the contract programme.

HBP have always maintained a customer focused attitude and always been adaptable and responsive to our business needs. I’d have no hesitation in recommending HBP for any civil engineering and groundworks contracts.

Our drainage project on our Africa paddock had to be carried out swiftly and efficiently to firstly not just get the job done but to give our zebra, wildebeest and white rhino access back outside as soon as possible, HBP were an integral part of the project and the end result – a wonderful – hopefully mud and water free – hard stand for our African residents to enjoy all year round.

HBP have successfully undertaken a high-profile road upgrade project with us, providing a comprehensive range of skilled labour, plant and materials to undertake all the groundworks, civils and surfacing works. Despite the design undergoing significant refinement during the works, HBP were able to proactively react to the changes and maintain good progress through to completion, all delivered with no accidents or incidents. The site team have worked hard and maintained a positive attitude throughout the project.

HBP have supported Network Plus for several years and continue to provide an excellent reinstatement service. They mobilise quickly, complete works efficiently, and always work collaboratively with our supervisors and scheduling teams. The level of communication and professionalism shown by their site teams is consistently high. Their flexibility, particularly when late changes arise, has been invaluable in helping us meet our programme commitments and maintain high customer satisfaction. HBP are a reliable and trusted partner we enjoy working with.

HBP provided highly skilled and committed labour for the concrete patch repairs on the M180 and M62 Junction 38 projects. Their teams and management demonstrated exceptional quality in their workmanship and a strong determination to complete the works on programme, never allowing setbacks or delays impacting delivery. The nature of these works required flexibility, discipline, and resilience, notably when road traffic collisions halted work for 2 consecutive nights. HBP responded with professionalism, adapting plans and resources without impacting programme delivery. When additional scope was introduced at short notice, HBP deployed additional in-house labour immediately, enabling us to complete all works to the original programme without compromising safety or quality. Their proactive, flexible labour supply approach was integral to the successful completion of these complex works. We look forward to continuing our partnership with HBP on future strategic road network projects.
