Our Clients

progressive are a personable company, they are flexible, integrate very well with other CDP(s), and a trusted a design lead for when we are at the early stages of a Project’s Frame and Envelope Detailed Design. They have a friendly can-do approach, with a willingness (and preference) to pick up the phone to resolve matters promptly as they arise. They are proactive in their overall culture and are a trusted regional design and delivery supplier within our logistics and distribution division, in returning a standard of work that is always good and not of concern when subject to appointed Independent Inspection(s).”

We’ve got a good relationship with progressive. We’ve worked with them for many years on many jobs and they’ve always been very helpful. They’re a sub-contractor that’s willing to work with you. They don’t rely on us to tell them what we want them to do, they’ll feed into the process. They’re very knowledgeable, we know them well and we have a personal relationship with their large team. What really makes them stand out is that they’re proactive. They’re professional. Thorough but approachable. They’re helpful. They’re generally very happy to give advice up-front, which is really valuable from our point of view. It’s that willingness to help which is great.”

progressive are my go-to company because of the relationship I have with them. If we’re providing them the room, and the areas that they need to work on, they’re getting it done. progressive is a team I can work with where there’s some flexibility. If there’s an area that isn’t ready, they’re more than willing to jump elsewhere. They can carry out detailed design, ensure we haven’t got any tricky detailing at junctions, taking into consideration other people around them, or that are involved with them. Their approach is professional, with a can-do attitude, and they’re enthusiastic. I just know I’m going to get a clear line of communication and I’m always happy with the end-product.”

progressive are a very dependable organisation. They are both honest and commercially aware. They are also very clear in their communication, which is a big part of our mutually beneficial relationship. Their design support has always made them stand out as one of the few businesses, particularly in the Devon and Cornwall area, that can give that technical design advice up-front. The projects that I’ve been involved in, and progressive have subsequently delivered, have been very, very well finished projects, and the cladding has been a strong part of those projects. From that point of view, they form a part of outstanding delivery for our clients.”

I would recommend progressive for their reliability. Reliability in design, reliability in the supply of materials, and the quality and consistency of the labour. And their honesty. progressive are good communicators and they’re honest with it. Also, their willingness to make sure it’s right. When there are problems and things are difficult there’s a commitment and a dedication to make sure it’s right. I would recommend progressive to other tier 1’s, because they’ve got the structures within their company, the ability to deliver big projects, and the right people to be able to deliver those projects.”

The rebuild of our HQ was a hugely significant milestone for us having lost the previous building in a devastating fire. We had the opportunity to create a landmark building to replace it and really improve the older part of Marsh Barton. progressive really supported us with advice to bring our designs to reality as well as achieve an environmentally efficient building. They worked harmoniously with the engineers, structural steel contractors and our team keeping the project on track despite the challenges of covid to deliver an excellent finish. Absolute pleasure to work with and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”

In the South-West they’re probably one of the very biggest roofing and cladding contractors. They’re liked by the Contractors, and they win a lot of work by being efficient and economical. And delivering. They make life easier for us. They do good fabrication and construction drawings. They tend to produce the detailed drawings. We’ll do the basics and show them what we want it to look like, but they always produce a good set of drawings off the back of that for our approval, the contractors’ approval, and the client’s approval. If progressive say that they have a better way of doing something, it’s wise for us to listen to them. It’s easier for us and it makes life safer for everybody. They’re always our preferred contractor.”
