Gordon Reid, Partner at Cundall commented:
“Many companies in the Construction sector are looking further afield for new business opportunities. By collaborating and sharing knowledge, North East companies can win new business overseas to the benefit of our local operations. Cundall have developed from a local business into an international consultancy firm. We are keen to meet likeminded companies and work together to build international relationships right here in the North East.”
