. . . Ottersbrook played a key role in establishing and leading the OSHA platform, enabling effective collaboration with supply chains and public sector partners, to deliver more homes across the North of England. Mike Ormesher (Project Director of OSHA from Ottersbrook) was focused, driven and energised throughout, enabling significant progress and traction to be achieved. Ottersbrook partnered with us superbly and opened many doors. Their efforts and the assets we produced together, remain the benchmark for ongoing engagement with government on the MMC and Industrialised Construction agenda . . .

. . . I worked closely with Mike Ormesher at Ottersbrook, on various matters requiring technical support for dispute resolution and legal proceedings (in a previous company). He brings a structured and disciplined approach to his analysis and reporting, underpinned by extensive experience in product testing and system design. Mike was consistently responsive and thorough, particularly when technical issues were impacting commercial or legal timelines. His ability to translate complex technical matters into clear insight was a real asset in resolving matters efficiently. I would readily recommend Mike as an expert witness and for technical advisory support in the construction sector . . .
