Testimonials

We used Portakabin knowing we would receive a high level of service and the McLaren team on the Wembley projects were not let down. They provide great temporary office and welfare facilities finished to a very high standard and their customer service is excellent, from start to finish.

Karl Salter
Logistics Manager, McLaren Construction at Wembley Park

The engagement with the building contractors, Portakabin, was always positive and they endeavoured to solve any issues promptly and effectively. This was extremely helpful and we appreciated all the support given as the construction of a new school was definitely not within our skill set. The quality of the building is to a high standard and we are now enjoying our brand new school.
