Any staff provided were perfectly suited to the position for which they were required, as well as fitting well into our teams, they all showed initiative to get things done as quickly and efficiently as possible. I was impressed by the “we can do it” approach taken by everyone. The work that Alba was required to carry out was completed in very tight timescales and to a very high quality. In my 30 years of experience, I have found Alba to be the best that I have encountered.”

Scott McIntyre, DSM
“I have been using Alba Planning Consultants (APC) extensively for the last 5 years to support the Improve Plant (IP) Department at our DSM site in Dalry. The APC team has grown from initially supplying a couple of resources to improve project planning to the current position of supplying a multi-disciplinary team that supports planning, project management, construction management and commercial/contract management. Without exception the quality and competence of the resources supplied has been first class and the team have a strong track record on site of successful project delivery. APC has also shown excellent flexibility to support the peaks and troughs in workload that occur year to year. Without doubt the APC team has been instrumental in the success of the IP Department over the last 5 years delivering multi million pound investment to the Dalry site.”
