Wirral Ark
"It is in no small part the vision of Frank Olchowski from Denovo Design, particularly the wonderful addition of our "green" roof - a great talking point amongst staff, clients and visitors. As an organisation we are keen to protect our planet and recycle, reuse and turn off as much as we can. This roof is a continuation of this policy"
