Sewell Estates Newsletter

Hi everyone

Well, Autumn appears to be well and truly on its way. To take your mind off the falling leaves, cooler temperatures and darker evenings, you might want to grab a coffee and tuck into our latest newsletter. You will read about our involvement in supporting organisations with buildings with RAAC (reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete, in case you missed the recent news!), our expanding consultancy team in the North East, a carbon efficient refit to create a ‘Best in Class’ new school facility or even tour our recently completed work at Sheffield General Hospital. We don’t have room to include our extensive programme of work in school settings across Yorkshire over the 6 week holiday, nor do we have space to update on our continuing programme of carbon reduction measures across our estate (but I’m sure you get the gist 😊).

As always, give me a ring if you would like to chat.

Best wishes, Jo
