People who have shaped our legacy
We’re thankful to everyone who has been part of our journey and stood by us throughout the years. Here’s what some of our valued customers have to say.
- One of the best suppliers, if not the best. Responsiveness and customer service from Dan, James, Gurpreet and everyone in the team. Will do anything to get new machines out there and support our sales effort. — Mike, CSU
- We’ve been partners working to support the plant and tool hire sectors since 2014. Our businesses have both grown in this sector during this time. Duro Yokota and Trelawny are now instantly recognisable as two key suppliers of high quality, very reliable machines, tools and consumables to the sector. A quality product range is the foundation of both our businesses, offering customers a consistent and reliable service throughout, with a high level of aftersales support when required. New machinery, service or repair and spare parts are supported seamlessly with transparency, meaning that together we are better placed to support our customers’ individual needs. R&D and innovation will be key factors in our continued future success, as we move into a greener future and support an ever-growing customer base. — Sean Hunt, Duro Yokota
- Industrial Air Tools have distributed and serviced Trelawny surface preparation equipment in Australia for over 20 years. Over this period, we have consistently found this equipment to be of high quality and reliability, fully supported by Trelawny’s spare parts and service back-up. — Mark Bulloch, Industrial Air Tools
- It is with great joyfulness we have been associated with Trelawny since 1996, and we have been marching together for the past 3 decades. We have worked with great personalities who have been instrumental in multiplying the machine population in the local markets to witness greater volumes. We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to Trelawny for their outstanding performance and dedication. Your professionalism, commitment and innovative approach have significantly contributed to the excellence in service we deliver. Thank you for your hard work and continued support – together we look forward to many more successes ahead. — Anil Kumar, Gulf Incon WLL
