Graham Issacs, Manager of BD Group's Voids Team. "We are thrilled to have started this project to refurbish Summerfield House to help provide much-needed temporary accommodation for families in our community.

"This project aligns with our mission to make a positive impact on people's lives through our work. We are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham and contribute to their efforts to help families transition out of temporary accommodation in hotels."

The newly refurbished flats will play a crucial role improving living conditions and reducing costs for the local authority.
