Engineers around the UK are directly employed by Penny Engineering and only work on Penny Engineering equipment ensuring appropriate stock is kept on vans for maximum first-time-fix rates. At special request, we will travel worldwide to carry out service and inspection work on equipment that we have sold and installed to ensure complete peace of mind.
Our office-based Service Team can track our Field Engineers and keep in touch via phone and schedule jobs via a tablet that is instantly closed down on completion – keeping you posted with live information. The database will automatically raise jobs at the appropriate time to save you the trouble of remembering when service and inspection work is due. All documentation is also held electronically on our system ready for when you may need it.
We will tailor your maintenance and inspection requirements in line with LOLER and to reflect the duty cycle and working environment. This minimises downtime, cost and inconvenience.
