University College London Hospital NHS Foundation Trust 

“IOM and UHNM have had a close working relationship for over 20 years. During this time, IOM have provided Ventilation validation, verification & LEV testing services on an annual basis. They have also assisted with any ventilation and environmental issues, often at short notice, and I personally have relied on IOM for expert technical assistance on a number of occasions. The on site teams and technical support have always provided a flexible and professional service with a personal touch and UHNM would have no hesitation in recommending them for similar works at other NHS Trusts.”
