Bio
Andrew Carpenter
I have known Robert since 1999 when together we helped set up the Bristol Best Practice Club which has gone on to be one of the most positive influential forces for change in the South West Construction industry. Throughout the time I've known Robert he has always proved to be a man of integrity, dedication, determination and fun! A man who gets things done and always delivers. A man who never wavers from his strong principles of fair play and what is right. As a client he maintained his principles throughout the recession which puts him in a league of his own when it comes to the construction industry. Above all he's a very nice bloke!
