Over the last 20 years, Darke & Taylor have developed a reputation for being able to deliver on fast-track fit-out and refurbishment projects, where time constraints and working to programme are critical.
Using its directly employed labour force and being prepared to go the extra mile (working whatever hours are required) has enabled the company to develop working relationships with some of the most highly respected fit-out contractors working in the South East and in particular the M4 corridor.
The clients that these companies work for are blue-chip and it is necessary for D&T to buy into the ethos of “perfect delivery” and “defect free” installation to ensure these large corporate organisations can focus on their business with the minimum of disruption, often in situations where other areas of the premises being worked on are in full occupation.
