Addressing the new partnership Managing Director, Chris Guilfoyle said: “After a tough tender process the entire JCD Family is delighted to be working with an iconic local company.
“We welcome 10 new team members to the business and look forward to supporting Knauf with all its requirements regardless of its complexity. Here’s to the next three years and beyond in partnership with Knauf.”
