Client’s feedback
“I have been in the woodworking industry for 27 years and in this time, I’ve worked with Ferwood UK on a number of big projects. The team know their stuff. They understand what manufacturing companies need, how they should operate and what machinery they need in place to make them work most efficiently. They don’t just sell machinery – they offer an integrated consultancy service as part of their sales process. As well as industry experience, they also offer advice and support and together, we create a framework that works.
The team were able to source and refurbish multiple machines for me on a short lead time and work around the varied challenges start-up businesses often face. Their willingness to help and flexibility throughout the installation process really was second to none and a result, we were able to begin the manufacturing of door blanks bang on schedule.
Ferwood is a company you can rely on. That’s why they are always the obvious choice for me when looking to invest in reconditioned machinery.”
