Responses to briefs within two weeks. The stand builder would have a professional approach and be responsive to requests while working on each project (event). Any problems encountered (e.g. a delay to the delivery of materials, unexpected costs, electrical issues) to be communicated with NHS Health Careers as soon as possible."
