Partnership

Its accommodation and property teams are developing long term partnerships with local authorities for the provision of new council offices, civic amenities and regeneration development. In the education sector, it is working with both further and higher education institutions to deliver new facilities. It is able to do this by using its expertise to bring together all the disparate agencies involved in regeneration in a partnership from which all parties benefit.

But partnership does not end with the financial side of a project. The company immerses itself in a project so that its staff become almost part of it. Support staff in police stations, schools, medical centres and the like, work hand-in-hand with staff employed directly by the facility to ensure that it operates smoothly and efficiently, with a coherent team approach adopted by all. For example, John Laing staff employed to man the front desk of a police station form part of a well-structured and seamless team, providing a vital public-facing role whilst enabling police officers to carry out their jobs in a more efficient manner.
