Pipemech’s Managing Director Rohan Ackroyd also passed on his congratulations to Ray and his team saying ‘I recall being at the McNulty FC approximately 10 weeks ago and thinking to myself that you have set yourself a tough goal to achieve MC on the 31 May. You have managed the project as usual in the professional way that you operate. No doubt you were set some challenges along the way however you have overcome them to obtain a great result.’
