• Will Ashworth, Managing Director, The Hotel & Extreme Academy, Watergate Bay, said:

“We have tried various procurement routes for our projects over the last few years but none have been as successful as working with Ease. Andy and his team delivered on schedule and on budget. As importantly Ease have seen us through the snagging period with the same efficiency with which they delivered the rest of the project. We are currently working with Ease on a larger and more complicated project …that says it all.”

 

• Clive Cobb, Founder & Owner of Town Mill Bakery, said:

“Never in a life time doing large scale projects, like that at Eden, have I had such an easy ride. No sooner than I had suggested something then it was done. I feel guilty that I had so little to do and that I did not have any sleepless nights, although Ease may have done!” 

 

• Chris Dick, Director of the Fairfield Trust, said:

“The Fairfield Trust manages 14 flats for retired missionaries in Torbay. As a result of a significant legacy a major refurbishment programme was undertaken to restore all the flats and associated buildings. An architect, a builder and quantity surveyor were appointed, but as all the Trustees lived away from the project it was thought prudent to appoint a project manager to liaise with the architect, builder and quantity surveyor not only to monitor progress and assist with the temporary moving of residents, but most importantly to scrutinise all costs and to maintain an accurate record of expenditure on behalf of the client. Andy Cook of Ease Development undertook the role of Project Manager and did an outstanding job liaising with the manager of the flats and the building team so that costs were kept under control and disruption to the residents kept to a minimum”.

 

 

• Peter Dick-Peter, Fairfield Trustee, said:  

“Thank you personally for making it all happen at the Fairfields – you always provided sound advice and guidance and made things happen despite all the various ‘challenges’ put your way – and all with a sense of good humour that I found refreshing and greatly appreciated – thank you.
 
I cannot but believe that with this team and perfect clients like what we are! you can be anything other than a huge success – this country needs companies like Ease at the moment!”

• Alastair Sawdays, writer & publisher, said:

“Andy has always been super-quick with his responses, always willing to go the extra mile to help”.

 

• From Emma Stratton, Shareholder and Director responsible for marketing and sustainability at The Scarlet said:

“A huge thank you from all of us for your great efforts throughout this project to keep it on time and on budget whilst retaining sustainability at its core. We really could not have opened Scarlet without you!”

• From James Waghorn of The Scarlet, Chairman and Director said:

“We have been delighted by the project management of The Scarlet build and I have no doubt that we would not have got such a special building so close to budget and programme without you”.

• Caron Thompson, Sustainable Construction Manager at The Eden Project said:  

“Andy led the Eden Project’s design and construction team with passion, drive and sense of humour. He embraced our vision and ensured that the buildings the team delivered exceeded our expectations”

• Gaynor Coley, Eden Project Managing Director, said:



“We decided to work with Ease because we were confident they would deliver an exceptionally professional job and be able to turn it around in the short timescale required and to budget – which of course they did.”

• Jo Elworthy, Eden’s Director of Learning, said:

“Eden are ambitious, they dare to dream and organise to deliver. They like to get things done. Ease, like Eden, believe in the art of the possible. They quickly and efficiently work out what needs to be done, then do it.”
