    Don't just hear it from us...

    JLL

    I just wanted to say a huge thanks to you and your team for getting us out of a tight spot with that crane response last night – very much appreciated, awesome customer service!

    JCB

    In my experience Street Cranexpress are the best in their field, I always go to them for technical advice, which they will happily give (even if it is not related to equipment/services they have installed and/or provided). Their response times regarding equipment issues (if you have them) are very good and they always carry out any works professionally and safely.

    Sunseeker

    The transition [moving from another service supplier] couldn’t have been better. You’ve made my life easier.

    Southern Water​

    We have been kept up to date daily with progress, which is brilliant.

    Southern Water​

    I wanted to drop you both a quick line to thank you and your teams for your efforts in getting our crane back up and running in between Christmas and New Year. As you both know, we are under pressure for output and having all our cranes in running order keeps flexibility in our facility. Once again, thank you for all your effort.

    Rolls Royce​

    I just wanted to say a huge thanks to you and your team for getting us out of a tight spot with that crane response last night – very much appreciated, awesome customer service!

    Polypipe

    Bit of a strange email and probably the first I’ve ever sent of its kind. However, I just wanted to pass on some feedback on the engineer we had attend site for the Service Remedials this week. He was on of the most polite, helpful engineers I’ve experienced on site in my time here at Polypipe, and it’s something we all picked up on in the office.

    Perkins

    The friendliness of the team and their passion to give the best service is really nice, you all do everything you can to help anyone. I felt that this has not been voiced and would like to let you know that you are appreciated very much.

    MITIE

    Would just like to pass on some feedback regarding some of your engineers, its often reported quick enough hen something hasn’t gone correctly but not when there is some good feedback to report. I had Jordan and Matt attend site for a planned repair at REL last week and the way they conducted the tasks they were undertaking was spot on, from the initial site meet to filling out the POWRA and setting up the work area. I asked Jordan to pop over to PCO with me and walk a client through a step-by-step method statement you have provided for exiting the crane and again it was very detailed. Great effort from the lads.

    MITIE

    I would just like to say a massive thank you to all the team at Street Cranexpress for your excellent service and support over the last 12 months, moving to you was a positive move for this contract and this shows with the monthly results.

    Toyota

    The nights engineer this week has been diligent, thorough, flexible, and hard working. A pleasure to work with.

    MITIE

    It’s not often that contractors get praise in here but I thought it was worthwhile mentioning and feeding back to you that the team managed to repair 3 crane pendants and also replace a harness and get 4 cranes back into service today. It was a great effort and your engineers deserve credit for getting the final crane up and running that needed the harness replacing, by using initiative to check all stores for spares and get this repaired. Please pass on my thanks to the team.

    CBRE

    Outstanding engineers. Their knowledge of cranes is invaluable.

    Breedon Group

    I would just like to pass on my sincere thanks for a job well done yesterday. It was a pleasure to work with your guys, they came with all the right equipment, the right attitude and just got on with the job in a safe manner.
