Client Testimonial's

Andrew Bertram
Finance Director and Deputy Chief Executive
York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Working with BlueLight Management has been an outstanding experience for all of us at York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

From the very beginning of their engagement, BlueLight demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep expertise, and clear communication. They were brought in to rescue a suite of projects that had stalled, and their commitment to success was evident immediately. They not only minimised further delays but also significantly reduced projected overspends on three of our crucial NHS capital projects. 

Through their dedicated coordination of the design team and stringent commercial management practices, BlueLight achieved remarkable savings for the Trust—in the region of £15 million. These savings were realised through design solutions, strategic value engineering, the adoption of alternative procurement routes, and a thorough scrutiny of all submitted costs. Schemes we were struggling to get off the ground are now in the final stages of construction and will be operational in the coming months.

As a genuine multi-disciplinary consultancy, they offer expert project management, quantity surveying, commercial management, and principal designer services. They have the ability to robustly manage any project from inception to completion, with the added benefit of providing a dedicated on-site team to supervise and co-ordinate the construction phase in a hospital environment. Their team have quickly built productive working relationships with our clinical, managerial and estates colleagues.

I would recommend BlueLight.

Acting Joint CEO
Kings College Hospital Charity

We are delighted to be working with BlueLight on the Outdoor Critical Care Unit, being built at King’s College Hospital. Malcolm Hankey is our project lead, he’s an excellent project manager, with a really creative approach to solving problems.

Not only does he keep an eye on costs and timeline, but if there are obstacles – inevitable on a project as complex and innovative as the outdoor CCU – we can be confident that he will figure out a way to get over them. He also knows how to motivate the site team, partners and hospital stakeholders alike, so that working relationships are positive and constructive.

We would recommend Malcolm and BlueLight for other hospital projects.

Associate Chief Operating Officer| Cancer, Specialist and Clinical Support Services  

Our experience with BlueLight Management’s handling of the VIU and MRI builds has been exceptionally positive. 

Their project management skills have ensured that both projects remain on track, and their commitment to value for money has been evident throughout. They have meticulously scrutinized line-by-line costs, ensuring that we have been quoted the best value for money by the contractors. The team's communication has been clear and consistent, fostering a collaborative environment. 

Their on-site support to oversee contractors and provide a conduit between the Trust's estates team and the contractor has been invaluable. Their teamwork and ability to troubleshoot issues promptly have been particularly impressive. 

Additionally, their engagement with clinical staff has ensured that the builds meet the specific needs and requirements of the healthcare professionals who will be using the facilities.
