Deputy managing director of Miller Construction, Robin Mackie,
said this latest deal demonstrates the success of Miller Constructions
commitment to teamwork and determination to add value.
Miller Construction has previously entered into partnerships with Barnsley
Metropolitan Borough Council to improve education facilities for two primary
schools in Barnsley, and Durham County Council to construct two new schools
in the County.
Mackie added: "Partnering requires a change of ethos and a move away
from the traditional methods which have previously guided the industry."
