Halftime 2024!   Reflecting on the first half of 2024, I want to share how our Ready-Build Trailer Program at EZ STAK has transformed our operations and why it could do the same for your business.   Implementing a ready-build program drastically cuts down lead times, ensuring clients receive their products quickly and reliably. Programs like this lower manufacturing costs, allowing for competitive pricing and better resource allocation. It also helps you adapt to market trends and client demands, giving you a competitive edge.   For example, my colleague Shane Lawrenson was able to quickly deliver a critical trailer to a military unit within 30 days, even shipping it across the Pacific in that timeframe. Having programs like this allows you to react to your client's needs immediately, creating greater success for them!   This initiative has driven customer satisfaction and operational efficiency, so If you're considering a similar approach, it might just be the strategic move your business needs.   Here’s to a successful second half of 2024!   Let's go!

Nearly three years ago we introduced our “Smooth Edges Guarantee” which means we check each and every piece to ensure no rough edges are ever sent out. We actually have been doing this since we started. When research showed that rough / sharp edges is one of the top two complaints from our competitors unhappy customers, three years is just when we decided it needed to be named. Today we’re giving ourselves a pat on the back, as our 100% guarantee is still going strong - we haven’t had anyone in all those orders need to take it up. If you're wondering what the other top customer complaint is, it’s long delivery times. That’s something else we set out from day one to conquer. We turn around orders as quickly as we can, small orders, less than £100 are usually dispatched within 24 hours of the customer placing their order. At the other end of the scale, we turn around the larger £1000+ orders in a week or two.And even with speedy turnaround times, every piece is subject to our 100% Smooth Edges Guarantee. If you want something laser cut, get in touch.
