The people at Nortek could not have been more helpful in advising and then installing equipment for our new engineering workshops at Turner Free school, Folkestone. The design team and I worked together to first establish what the needs of the curriculum were before I was given a range of options per equipment I ordered. This ranged from soldering iron benching, to scroll saw desks, work benches and storage solutions.
After the final quotes were approved, I had a variety of visits from Nortek to ensure everything would fit correctly and then the installation. Training was given after installation on the machines, as well as for the workbenches and storage solutions.
After using them all for the past 18 months, I cannot recommend Nortek enough. Firstly because of the ease it was to work with them on this installation but also the excellent customer care I have received.
Amelia Aslett, Head of Design Technology
“The Nortek team provided us with the ideal balance of bespoke and customised furniture solutions to equip our new design, engineering, and technology facility. From the department’s design studio workspaces to the workbenches in our fabrication bays the quality of their work and the associated installation was first class. We as a faculty are delighted with the final outcome, as are the pupils who use The Patrick Engineering Centre at Oundle School.”
