Crew
Our biggest advantage to you, the customer, is that the people on-site, in the office, and the directors still have that old-fashioned pride in our work. Our crew are full-time wages staff and we have worked together, in some cases, for over thirty years. To ensure continuity, productivity and the best way of carrying out the job on-site, we also employ younger staff. We value our staff highly and have a very low turnover. This is how we can guarantee consistency in our jobs that other companies can only dream about.
Workshop
The basis of our reputation for reliability is maintaining all our machines and equipment in optimum condition. Servicing and maintenance is carried out by our mechanics in our premises in Maddington. With 20 machines, a fleet of trucks and numerous smaller pieces of equipment, regular servicing is essential.
