The UK’s leading independent air movement specialist, Gilberts Blackpool, is playing a key role in helping keep a major engineering project on track.

Gilberts has provided the ventilation louvre systems to Morgan Sindall for M&E elements of the Crossrail Pudding Mill Portal project.

The quality was a determining factor in winning the business, being ISO 9001 accredited.
