Morgan Sindall (Construction Infrastructure), working on behalf of Western Power Distribution (Serving the Midlands, South West and Wales), apologise for any inconvenience caused during these essential works.

Not much wrong with that, surely?

Cheers,

The capital letter..
It's either 'Blah working on behalf of blah apologise.. "
Or "Blah.....behalf of blah. Apologies for....."

Or if you just read the bit in red, it looks like a command.

"Apologise for any inconvenience caused during these essential works"
Or else!

Stooz - go to the top of the Pedant's class. I confess that I missed the offending capital A. Anyway I'm just off to my Gentlemens's Barber. That should remind me to always thoroughly check out the grammar.

"Apologies " instead of "Apologise " might have suited better or "We apologise...".

A precis can cause confusion.

Sorry, I fail to see where the addition of any apostrophes would improve it.
