Mega Projects
Since our inception over 35 years ago now, we have always been kept busy by the one’s & two’s off orders for the U.K. market, many from existing customers. However, every so often we are fortunate enough to receive what we call ‘Mega’ orders (well they are for us) for larger quantities/values of whatever they may be, for export.
Below are some highlights of that sort of business, but not an exhaustive list. We could for instance mention the multiple cesspit & jetting equipment for Kosovo via the Dept of International Trade (was DIFD), the many water & cesspit tankers we’ve completed for the Foreign Office over the years for Africa & beyond, the multiple water & fuel oil tankers & mobile workshops for Parker Plant operating in Ghana, educational equipment for St Vincent schools, timber products to St Lucia .. and so on…
