Chris Wood, Pinacl GDA’s Sales Director, said: “We are thrilled to have been selected to supply and install the cabling solution for this prestigious new school.

“Many of our projects are global in scale, but it is great to be able to play a part in helping to deliver a local project which will provide state-of-the-art school facilities for children for many years to come.”

So far over £90million has been invested in Denbighshire in the first phase of the 21^st Century Schools Programme either replacing or refurbishing schools, benefiting more than 3,500 children.
