Clients

"JGP are an invaluable resource for Project Management Services to Firstgas. The Project Managers and Technical support is a very high quality which we cannot obtain elsewhere. I particularly appreciate the focus of Project Management expertise that comes from a company that specialises in this area, which provides Firstgas with better results than we have achieved by using resources from other consultancies with less specialised focus. Thanks for your hard work team!" - Firstgas Engineering and Projects Manager
