TES have been working closely with AJ Hurst for over 18 years and as a testament to the responsive, quality service we have received throughout this period, consider them to be a key partner rather than a supplier to our business. Having witnessed first-hand the level of service provided by AJ Hurst it is no surprise to see the company continuing to go from strength to strength.

As the supplier for all our panel building requirements, A J Hurst have consistently delivered a first class service to us, sorting out not only routine issues but finding solutions for unique and complex process problems. We get the same high level of service for basic repeat orders as we do with the more specialised automation applications. I would have no hesitation in recommending A J Hurst as a first class partner.
