ISG director Alistair McNeil said: “The MoJ continues to be one of our most innovative and progressive customers across a range of measures - from procurement approaches, modern methods of construction (MMC) adoption and as an environmental, social and governance (ESG) trailblazer.

“Our longstanding partnership with the MoJ is built on trust, knowledge and aligned goals and has driven a wide range of rehabilitation and upskilling initiatives that mutually benefit the vision and values of both our organisations. In many areas, the MoJ is at the vanguard of some of the most progressive and innovative approaches to estate optimisation strategies and it’s through enlightened clients that our entire industry directly benefits and advances.”
