Bio
Gary Henshaw
I worked alongside John for a few years at MES National and Reach Communications. (Reach Communications was MES Nationals security leg of the company) I worked alongside John preparing security tenders for the huge electrical subcontracting tenders that John was working on. I found John to be extremely efficient with a very high attention to detail, which made estimating and tendering alongside John a pleasure to do. Also he would look into anything he was not sure about making sure he knew indepth what he wanted and where, and all of the technical engineering behind it. Overall I found John to be a very personable guy, friendly with a great sense of humour, yet still very keen to get stuck in, delivering a high customer service, and to the highest quality possible. I cannot recommend John highly enough and would happily work alongside John Cottingham again in the future at any time.

The works we asked MES to undertake were specialised and not undertaken by them specifically before. However, given limited information from our European colleagues, and a tight timescale, the works were implemented without problems. John and his Team integrated almost instantly with our mechanical contractors, and carried out the works in a diligent, professional and very personable manner. I wouldn't hestitate to recommend.
