Kirkdale Community Centre

Liverpool · Delivered by FMC / MCM Energy

“Damien worked tirelessly to ensure we received quotes for all the elements of work within a tight deadline. Without the help and support from Damien it would have been an uphill struggle, if not impossible. The centre has had a new lease of life since the works have been completed.”
