“Working alongside Pentadel to design this new facility has been an exciting journey,” said Andrew Johns, managing director at RD Johns. “The team took the time to understand our challenges, our ambitions and – crucially – our values.The resultant design is one that proudly espouses those values, and which is going to support our future growth.”
James Kemp, managing director of Pentadel, added: “This project is going to be a great example of our design philosophy and of all the principles we hold dear – we hope the RD Johns team will love working there, that the community will be proud of this local business’ efforts to create a positive addition to the area, and that other businesses in future will be inspired to create facilities that are better for people and the planet.”
