This is with great pleasure that I can write a report on work well done. WarDew’s involvement with the setup, commissioning and staff training on our fully automated conveyor roller shaft processing gantry systems was carried with a level of dedication and competence. The project was completed timeously and without any hassle. I would also like to express my gratitude towards Dion Stanley and the service we have received from him thus far. Thank you again for the great service and we look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship between Brelko and Wardew.
