I would happily recommend COEL. They were professional, lovely to work with and our office was refurbished to a very high standard. We are delighted with the results. Sophie Appleby, ideaSpace

COEL was chosen to be the contractor on 327/329 Cambridge Science Park due to their proven ability to be responsive and attentive to detail. Their team consistently looks to deliver and overcome any potential obstacles with well-conceived and considered solutions. As a result of the high-spec work that they provided, the client has trusted COEL with a second phase of works in order to replicate these successes. Jonathan Wright, Partner, Bidwells

We could not be happier with the space that COEL has delivered to us. Throughout the project, they communicated and kept us informed of what was happening. We were reassured from the start that COEL could help us with so many aspects of our move and the completed space has far exceeded our expectations. We are delighted with our new office; it is being used and enjoyed exactly as we had hoped.

COEL is a thoroughly professional organisation and one which we intend to continue to work with for ongoing maintenance moving forward Managing Director at Grifols, Cambridge Research Park

Having previously worked with COEL we were not surprised to find that their quality purposeful designs, their thorough and effective project management, their thoughtful and careful building craftsmanship and their impressive dutiful aftercare put them right at the top of the league when it comes to workplace design and build organisations. I could not recommend them highly enough.
We also used COEL's sister company CMS Cambridge Limited to manage our office move and found that they worked seamlessly with COEL to ensure a smooth and successful transfer from one site to another. The CMS team worked tirelessly until everything was as it should be.

We have been delighted with the work that COEL have done at St Faith's, and against some particularly challenging circumstances. On time, on budget and exceeding our quality and general expectations. We regularly marvel at the transformation of the spaces that COEL have worked on and would not hesitate to recommend them Richard Brent, St Faiths School, Cambridge.

With a great concept design from Loci Interiors already in place we partnered with COEL to put the plans into action. The creative team gave excellent service from the initial meeting through to the delivery of the completed office layout; the process was both streamlined and efficient. The IQ Capital team now have a workplace which meets all of our needs and endorses our brand Heidi Williams, Events and Office Manager at IQ Capital

COEL’s in-house skill set and experience in agile working environments provided us with the comfort that the changes implemented were in line with our strategies and company goals. I was impressed with the level of commitment from the whole COEL team in delivering the project on time and on budget, despite the majority of the project programme falling in the middle of the Covid-19 lock down. Our staff love their new office space and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend COEL. Dee Willmott, Chief People and Transformation Officer for Archant

We asked COEL to think outside the box of a traditional beauty salon, to create a space that would WOW clients just as much as the exceptional service and treatments for which we are known. We wanted to get people talking and the finished product has certainly achieved that! COEL’s designers Katie and Megan, took the time to understand our wish list for design and technical requirements and we were blown away by how accurately they had captured this in the initial concept design. Throughout the whole project, nothing was too much trouble for the team - there was always someone at the end of the phone to willingly assist at every stage in the project. The finished salon has exceeded all expectations and has created a whirlwind of interest in the local area. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending COEL to anyone who is looking for a professional, creative and friendly team to manage their project to the very highest standards. We will definitely be using COEL for Richmond House Beauty No.2! Amy Matthews, Richmond House Beauty

COEL are a great company to work with. Their approach is pragmatic and collaborative, working closely with the client throughout to inform on progress and offer clear practical advice when problems and challenges arose. The onsite team were very well led by an experienced project manager and excellent site manager. Our project demanded extremely tight deadlines which were delivered to time, specification and budget Greg Hayden, Group Information Services Director
