Testimonials

Lewisham Education Department

"Gordon Jaaback has provided The Lewisham Playing Fields Consortium with an excellent service; from the initial feasibility study, through to the works being carried out by the contractor. His management of the project has been extremely professional, and his expertise has been crucial to the project, and the end result is superb. We now have a playing field that can be used all year round, and is light years away from the mud bath the local schools had to use in the past. He has also been very helpful with any subsequent grounds maintenance issues."

P R Mercer Club Honorary Secretary and Quantity Surveyor

"Gordon Jaaback was commissioned by the Heathfield and Waldron Rugby Football Club and the  Heathfield and Waldron Parish Council to carry out the design and project management of the Clubs new rugby pitch at Heathfield. Despite considerable drainage problems, working with Wealden clay and a very tight budget Mr Jaaback turned one of the worst pitches in Sussex into arguably the best and on which, County matches can now be played. The pitch is simply magnificent and has been instrumental in promoting the club at all levels.  The pitch was delivered on time and to budget."
