Testimonial:
"Babcock is our supplier of choice for a variety of services,
primarily mechanical manufacturing and technical support, but also
with complex lifting operations and occasionally electronic
support. The service is always to agreed deadlines, often very
challenging deadlines when urgent works are required. Staff are
well trained, and focused on meeting the customers expectations,
nothing is too much trouble. They never complain about meeting the
onerous expectations of working on a nuclear licensed site. They
make their meeting spaces available to us as on off site location
is occasionally required and offer excellent hospitality. Babcock
take on large and complex tasks, managing several subcontractors,
but are also equally happy to supply resources for low value
elementary tasks and so are essential to the Waste Operating Unit
meeting its annual targets. The company are also mindful of the
community they operate in, employing local people and supporting
youth projects in the locality."
