Aaron MeredithHeadteacher, Ernesettle Community School
We've worked with Stephan and the team at Oatway Design Ltd on several projects. I'm happy to share that each time I have been impressed with their approach. These projects are in the care sector where clients are sensitive to costs as well as the end user needs. We were not disappointed, the design outputs were to a very high standard and integrated renewables to ensure sustainability. Oatway Design's end-to-end client service is excellent and feels bespoke. That level of care and professionalism is uncommon in our industry. We look forward to working together again in the future.
