"Alan is always the first on-site in the morning opening up and the last on-site in the evening. Not only was he good at general labouring, but he would also put his hand to absolutely anything and never had any issues in doing so, including getting plots ready for NHBC Inspections, render patching, painting & decorating, just to name a few tasks. He was more than a labourer for us."
