It brings considerable value to what we can offer clients across our project portfolio in the education, residential and healthcare sectors.
“Our partnership with AM Technology is a great success story for our Matching Up programme, offering a brilliant example of how collaborative partnerships between industry and innovators can positively impact the built environment.”
Antonio Cianci, CEO of Airlite, addd: “Airlite was created as a simple solution to improving air quality and the health and wellbeing of us all, whilst also caring for our planet.
