“Wallace Whittle has been an instrumental partner in our journey towards a sustainable Net Zero hospital. During scheme development, their expertise and collaboration in MEP design, combined with a deep understanding of us as a client and the wider healthcare sector, makes them an invaluable asset. As we progress through the project from design to construction, I am confident having Wallace Whittle as a part of our team will help ensure our vision becomes a reality.”
