1.3 TESTIMONIALS To whom it may concern Vanquis Bank have used Polar Air as the main contractors on recent two projects. One was in 2016 which was the complete refurbishment of a newly acquired site for a 400 seat call centre with a new staff café. The works entailed a complete fit out with air conditioning upgrade and new furniture throughout. The other project was more recent and was completed in December 2017. This was a refresh of the décor of an existing but very tired looking 450 seat call centre over 2 floors, plus an upgrade of the existing café with a brand new functional kitchen. Both projects were efficiently managed and on time. Whilst budgets were adhered to, any additional costs were always outlined as optional every step of the way. Regular project meetings with Polar Air attendance provided us with up to date progress on the project highlighting any issues and offering suitable remedies. The Polar Air team of workers were always polite and professional whilst on site and considerate when working during our long office hours to minimise disruption to our staff. We would be happy to use Polar Air for future projects and have no hesitation in recommending their services to other companies. Ameera Mian Facilities Head Office and Project Manager Vanquis Bank Our experience working with the team at Polar Air Ltd on various projects from initial design and meetings through to completion has been an excellent one to date culminating in such projects being completed on-time, on budget in a professional manner. An example of their ability to understand our and that of our clients requirements were specifically noticeable in relation to an initial day one requirement and subsequent re-stack and expansion in delivering essentially two phased projects at our facility in Leeds, the team demonstrated their flexibility accommodating all our exact requirements notwithstanding assisting other contractors to make sure deadlines were met not going unnoticed showing an overall aptitude throughout to ensure the overall project experience was a good one. We continue to engage with Polar Air Ltd due to our successful working relationship to date and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services Derek Clogg Portal Operations and Projects Director
1.3 TESTIMONIALS (continued) On a final note, I would like to express my sincere thanks for your continuing support with the YMCA. Kind Regards Mark Crane Mark Crane MBIFM Facility Manager YMCA Nottinghamshire I was very impressed with the installation and wanted to let you know that the engineers were excellent. They arrived on time, liaised with us about working and got on with the work with no fuss or bother. They worked hard and cleaned up as they went. None of the doctors complained at all about anything being out of place or moved! They were courteous and polite and were kind enough to wait each night while I checked round the building and locked up before leaving. I will have no hesitation in recommending Polar Air to other practice managers Linda Allum Practice Manager Chilwell Valley and Meadows Surgeries Polar Air have been appointed as Design and Build subcontractor on many projects and have been more than competent in designing and installing new mechanical and electrical systems, including the decommissioning of any old systems. Fully completed 0 & M manuals have been issued on practical completion and any maintenance issues or on site problems have been dealt with quickly and efficiently. We have had no issues with the effectiveness, running cost or reliability of the works carried out by Polar Air. All contracts have been completed on time and within budget and we would have no hesitation in using Polar Air Limited on future projects. Tony Howland Heyford Contracting Ltd
