Crown Highways MD Mike Dale
We spoke to Mike Dale, Crown Highways Managing Director to get his thoughts on this contract. Mike told us:
“It’s a particularly satisfying and proud contract for us here at Crown Highways because we have been trying to secure works on these CWF contracts for the past two years. It’s a prestigious award and it will be a great string to our bow to be involved and excelling as a part of it.
“Since I joined Crown from Balfour Beatty in 2015, this award is our biggest, and is certainly the most satisfying achievement for the company since I came to Crown Highways.
“We have beat some strong competition to gain a spot on this framework and we can’t wait to get started, exploring the new opportunities in the region and being an active member in the regional supply chain community
