Vincent Mount - Senior Landscape Architect, Portsmouth City Council:
'Agripower provided a great service for building our new sports courts at Drayton Park, to budget and on time. They're hard workers and they were helpful in offering practical common sense solutions which we responded to in order to make the project go better. The area is transformed now, and the sports courts are very popular with the local community, serving a real need in Portsmouth'
