"CDC's input will be invaluable as they pioneered the true concept of intelligent buildings, when I came across them nearly 20 years ago. Clearly they are now pre-eminent in their field and an invaluable resource for YES! Through our partnership, we can meet our vision of delivering an environmentally friendly and sustainable building."
"By bringing together industry experts to input into all stages of the project from inception to completion and ongoing management, Oak Holdings will deliver an innovative building for future generations that will be a further catalyst in the regeneration of the South Yorkshire area, creating nearly 3,000 jobs," commented Mike Williams, Founder and Chairman of CDC.
