We are continuing to work with our clients Hydropol on the River Weaver. Working in collaboration with VolkerMaine Services and Harlyn Solutions, we have recently supported the movement of equipment between Acton Bridge and Dutton Locks. The team had various challenges throughout the project, but with the right experience and teamwork the project was delivered safely and professionally - well done to everyone involved.

All at Carmet would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Please note, the Office will be closed from 25th December and will re-open on Tuesday 4th January 2022.
