At Contact Attachments, we pride ourselves on our long-standing relationships with a whole host of businesses from across the sector. And as we celebrate our 50th birthday, it’s a pleasure to look back at our history so far, and highlight some of those companies who we’ve collaborated with for decades.
Hereford-based not-for-profit Greendale Carpets and Flooring was formed in 1962, and built their first warehouse in 2000 which had room for around 1,400 rolls of carpet. The business quickly grew, and soon their capacity doubled meaning they needed appropriate and specialised equipment to be able to carefully transport the rolls of carpet and – most importantly - protect the quality and finish.
Their Chief Executive, Eamonn Prescott, said: “Following the rapid expansion of our business and warehouse capacity, we purchased two additional forklifts to manage this increased workload. Around this time we also invested in Boom attachments from Contact, and we were extremely happy with the service that we received from the team, and of the high quality of the components too.
“Now in our 24th year of operating in this way, the attachments have never let us down.
“They have been solid and dependable, which is imperative for us as we’re handling carpet with values in excess of £2,500 per roll. There is absolutely no room for error. We transport over 100 rolls each day - whether moving them around the warehouse or loading and unloading lorries, for example – so we need to be able to trust that our equipment is always up to the task. And our Contact Boom attachments certainly are.
“Thanks to this unwavering strength, durability and longevity, we have suffered very minimal (if any) downtime from our forklifts – which is essential as they truly are the lifeline of our warehouse. We’ve also established great relationships with the Contact Attachments team over the years – their back-up service and after sales support is always first-class.
“As a member-owned cooperative carpet group, our ultimate aim is to supply flooring with the very best customer service, and the Contact Boom attachments play a big part in allowing us to achieve that.”
Jason Cadman, our Marketing Manager added: “Our Boom attachments are manufactured in high-grade EN19T steel, meaning they’re incredibly robust and boast a long service life. Plus, with three years’ warranty as standard, we’re confident in their ability to enhance ways of working.
“But it’s always fantastic to hear from our customers about their successes with the equipment. Having partnered with the team at Greendale for over 20 years, it’s a pleasure to learn about how our attachments have supported - and continue to support - them, and enhanced how they service their customers too.”
