- External team of sales managers with branches located in Rainham, Newbury, Warrington and Glasgow
The Challenge
Ockwells contacted Salamander a few years ago with an initial contract borne out of the requirement of a metal work fabricator that could manufacture a wide range of products to a high specification.
It was important to understand a complex and competitive marketplace so that the conceptualisation, design, prototyping and full production of several site safety products could be produced on a consistent basis, primarily for the construction industry.
Additionally, there was a critical requirement from a partner to bring innovative solutions to the table regularly – namely through high-quality modern manufacturing methods. With this in place, the Ockwells team could focus on identifying customer issues and recognising opportunities to support and service its database.
Solution
A strong working relationship continues to grow between the two businesses, with a consistently high promise to interpret solutions that are derived from understanding of the construction industry – and its challenges.
Following Salamander’s sound manufacturing knowledge, engineering skills, high-quality production output and the ability to maintain agreed production specifications, Ockwells has increased confidence in its ability to supply site safety products with a consistent quality to its customers.
Testimonial
Our desire to partner with Salamander came about as a result of its ability to clearly interpret our briefs, provide design input and engineering expertise, and produce a broad range of products using modern laser-cutting and robot welding machinery. This gave us the confidence that our products would not only meet, but surpass the expectations of our highly demanding customer base – positioning us as the market leader in this area of the construction sector.Nigel Massey, Managing Director of Ockwells
