Recognising Excellence: Praise for Our Onsite Team

We are proud to have completed a £260k programme of improvement works at Carrickmannon Primary School, Ballygowan, delivered on behalf of the Education Authority (Northern Ireland).

This project included upgrades to drainage, kerbing and surfacing, the construction of a new play area with play equipment, new steps and handrails, replacement fencing, soft landscaping, and the delivery of a brand-new turf football pitch.

We were especially honoured to receive an exceptionally warm and heartfelt testimonial from the Principal of Carrickmannon Primary School, who shared the following feedback about her experience working with Northstone:
“Working with Northstone has been an absolute pleasure. From the outset, their professionalism, warmth, and genuine care put us at ease. They were consistently accommodating and often anticipated our needs before we even raised them.

What stood out most was how easy they were to work with; communication was always clear, prompt, and proactive. No request was ever too big or too small. Their onsite teams were polite, considerate, and incredibly mindful of our school environment, working around our schedules and routines seamlessly. We are genuinely grateful for their support, understanding and expertise. We would wholeheartedly recommend Northstone to any school or organisation seeking a team that is not only highly skilled, but genuinely wonderful to work with. Their professionalism and humanity shine through in everything they do. Thank you to Northstone, and Gareth McKenna in particular, for everything you have done.”

A huge well done to Gareth and the entire onsite team for delivering high-quality work with care, respect, and professionalism.

Thank you, Carrickmannon Primary School, for your trust, partnership, and incredibly kind words. It has been a pleasure to support your school community.
