2008 – London 2012 Olympic Village

Sterling’s involvement in the construction of the Olympic Village for the 2012 London Olympics served as another feather in their cap.

Sterling worked with contractors and helped support them as they rose to the occasion, delivering world-class facilities.

2012 – Commonwealth Games 2014, Glasgow
