Testimonials

"I am very pleased to inform you that the new Estates Strategy was received well. I would like to thank you for all your help in the production of the document, great team effort"

Phil Eagles Head of Estates, Bedford Hospital NHS Trust

Inventures have been working with UCLH for a number of years, they have consistently delivered on time and within budget and are always looking for the optimum solution for us as a client. I have been particularly impressed in how they have adapted to the bespoke Trust policies and procedures and consistently adopt a “can do” approach to all commissions, from healthcare planning, equipping, procurement, business case writing and project management

Kieran Mc Daid, UCLH

“David Lawrence and the Inventures team have been providing excellent services to us for a number of years and they are currently advising the PCT on the development of our new community hospital in South Bristol. We are already exploring with Inventures help how we can work more closely with the Local Authority and other partners to make better use of our property assets across the whole of the local economy and I am delighted to hear of the news that they are to join Capita Symonds.”

David Tappin, Director of Strategic Development, NHS Bristol

“I have worked closely with Inventures for a number of years. They are an excellent business with very good people who are totally focused on the customer. At a time when the healthcare sector needs to look more seriously at the efficiency of its operation and the effective use of their property portfolio, Inventures as part of the Capita Group should be well placed to offer a wider range of services which can only be good news for clients like us”.
