G&T Attends Tightening of the Bolt Ceremony at Kings School New Campus
Last month G&T employee Alice Speirs attended the 鈥楾ightening of the Bolts鈥� ceremony at the new King鈥檚 School Campus on Alderley Road, Prestbury. G&T is providing cost management services on this expansive project.
To celebrate the last bolt on the 1350-tonne steel framework going in, Kings School held a 鈥榯ightening of the Bolt鈥� ceremony at their new 拢60-million campus. The tightening of the bolts marks the completion of the steel frame and the half-way stage for the project which is due for completion in May 2020.
King鈥檚 Infant pupil, Xanthe Watkin, aged 5, joined Headmaster Dr Simon Hyde, The Lord Lieutenant of Cheshire David Briggs and Chair of Governors Dr John Kennerley to tighten the final bolt on the main academic building.
鈥淚t was a lovely way of bringing everyone together and acknowledging the progress that had been made to date.鈥�Alice Speirs, G&T Assistant Surveyor
