What Our CUSTOMERS are Saying

“A really positive mention for the driver that came to the site today. He was wearing the correct PPE and stopped the crane when I entered his work area to talk to him. He was very mindful of his surroundings and what he was doing and the potential risk to others. I really appreciated his professionalism.”

Dwight, Fonterra

“Amazing service! Seriously didn’t think customer service still existed like this in NZ. Went over and above what I was expecting. Thank you so much Donna and the team in Hamilton.”

Rebecca

“On behalf of CatWalk Trust, I would like to thank Sims Metal for the monthly donation made to CatWalk Trust towards supporting our goal to fund research to find a cure for Spinal Cord Injury. ‘Hoofin’ It’ and money raised from the recycling of horse shoes is such a brilliant idea and your donations to support and advance world-class research to find a cure is truly appreciated. Thank you so much.”
