Wilkinson Environmental has built a reputation in the Midlands for its work in civil engineering, drainage and sewer infrastructure projects, bringing decades of experience to the group.<\/p>\n
Mike Moss, owner and managing director of Wilkinson Environmental, added: \u201cWe\u2019ve worked closely with Ipsum in the past and it\u2019s a huge complement to all of us here at Wilkinson to be held in such high esteem. I\u2019m certain this move will be extremely beneficial for my colleagues in terms of job security, training and development opportunities and investment in resources locally. We go forward with confidence, and a commitment to continue to offer supply chain partners the quality and reliability of service we are renowned for.\u201d<\/p>\n
