Professional and proactive

We have always found Portland to be professional and proactive with a wealth of knowledge of the Construction and training industry. Not only have they met our training requirements, but they have always been able to advise on topics such as grant payments and funding, both of which have helped Caldwell Construction recoup a large amount of monitor outlay in upskilling our operatives.
