With off shore competition and at home regulation making it increasingly harder to compete on price implementing systems and procedures to avoid confusion within staff roles is allowing each member of the team to take ownership of there tasks and provide 100% dedication to the critical areas of the company. The challenges involved with managing/owning a company never end and we still have a long way to go. As young business owners the first step was to recognise we were spreading ourselves to thin and needed to make time to work on the company with a clear head and direction and not just in it, this is something we are starting to make ground on and seeing positive outcomes from it.
Regularly meeting the time frames required, to suit our heavy transport production line, with a quality Roadrunner product always.”

“Roadrunner Manufacturing has supplied our recent addition of an OMAX Waterjet Cutting Machine.
They made our decision easy with their professional approach and dedication to providing after sales service. Their back up service has been great with spare parts delivered on time, and have been easily contacted throughout the learning process with a new machine.
It is a pleasure to do business with Roadrunner Manufacturing knowing that we will be attended to by a very caring team that notes our needs and over-delivers on expectation.”

“As Project Manager, I have been tasked with supervising the build of over 30 Aircraft Fertilizer trucks which have to conform to both the Tank Wagon and Road Transport codes of compliance.
To this end, the Jet A1 5,000L fuel tanks have to conform to the exacting standards of the Tank Wagon code.
Roadrunner Manufacturing were successful with their tender and have so far produced 9 tanks to these exacting standards which include X-Ray weld testing undertaken by an external certifying organisation.
I have no hesitation in recommending Roadrunner Manufacturing as a reliable, high quality manufacturer of aluminium products.”
