"Macegreen were appointed by Primark as commercial office experts to project manage the complex refurbishment of our UK headquarters in Reading. The 3-year project was extremely challenging as the works were all completed whilst we remained in occupation. The end result is fantastic and such a transformation. Macegreen’s commitment, expertise, proactive and detailed management was very much appreciated"
