“Today is my last day at LLDC. I have been here for seven years and worked across nearly every LLDC housing project. I would like to make a special mention and thanks to Adwoa from TOBS Consultancy, she has been a vital and driving force behind the RRW procurement. Without her, the project would not have progressed as well and smoothly as it has. Not only has she been good at the day to day but also picking us (development) up a team where we have had failings in a professional and proactive manner. This is evidenced by the lessons learnt exercise she undertook after the SQ stage. I would have no hesitation in recommending TOBS Consultancy ”
