Testimonials.

“Great service at Charmhaven on Saturday morning 16th April. Don’t know the big fella’s name but he was very helpful and innovative in his thinking. Gave advice on an alternative way to make my security screens that meant I didn’t have to spend up big on flat bar and allowed me to do the job in one afternoon. He is a credit to your company and another example of why I have been dealing with you for more than 20 years. Well done him and to your company.”

John, Laing O’Rourke Australia

“I came in and bought a log splitter which I saw advertised on your sign as I drove past. I did not realise that you had to assemble it yourself so I said I wanted the assembled one. No problem. I could not get it home by myself so I asked for it to be delivered. Again, no problem and no extra cost either. The service from David Rich was fabulous. Nothing was too much trouble and he was fully conversant with the product he was selling and a great advocate for your company. Very impressed all round and BJH will always be one of my first ports of call when purchasing various items. It was just so nice, in this day and age, to get good, friendly and honest service. Credit to you all.”

Gary, Holgate

 “BJ Howes Metaland is a supplier of fasteners, other vendor managed items and tooling for the Mobile Maintenance Department at the Mount Thorley Warkworth mining operations based in the Hunter Valley. Their service has always been professional and to a high standard as required to come to site. During the years of supplying the department there have been no incidents or injuries with the BJ Howes team. I would recommend this company as a supplier.”

Simon Triggs, Mobile Maintenance Superintendent, Mount Thorley Warkworth Mine – Coal & Allied 

“The major difference between the team at BJ Howes and its competitors, the service is second to none. We have never had an issue with having any item delivered late or not delivered at all. As has happened over the years with other suppliers.”

Chris Rolsch, Field Service Manager, Power & Mining – Howden Australia

“I have used BJ Howes services for over 10 years. The longevity of our relationship has been due to their high level of service and technical understanding of what our business requires. Their daily deliveries when required on time critical projects has made them an integral part of our project delivery chain. I would recommend BJ Howes to anyone looking for a competitive reliable company with a can do attitude.”
Mark Benson, National Operations Manager – RCR Energy

“Power Projects International have enjoyed a long association with BJ Howes, having used them as our major supplier of industrial products and consumables for a period of over 10 years. Their range and stock levels suit our business, but their customer service separates them from other suppliers. Our work at power stations requires very tight schedules and fast response to customer requirements, and BJ Howes have consistently gone the extra mile in ensuring that our critical supplies are sourced and delivered promptly and efficiently. We select suppliers who help us meet our customers needs, and for this reason we expect to continue our relationship with BJ Howes well into the future.”
Phil McWilliam, General Manager Engineering – Power Projects International
