TESTIMONIALS
Some Words from Our Customers
AJW Plant Hire have now done two jobs for Warilla High School. Due to the fact we are a school and have 1300 students it is sometimes difficult to get jobs done at suitable times. AJW were happy to fit in with our school schedule. The first job was right in the middle of our school and involved taking the cab off one of the machines to get it under our walkways but that was no problem to them at all,
everything was cleaned up and left immaculate. I would recommend this company to anyone nothing is too much trouble they are happy to fit in with any schedule and any job big or small is
done with great professionalism and care.

We have been using AJW Plant Hire for roughly a year now on a biweekly basis. We cannot speak more highly of Amy and Adam. They go above and beyond with any request we have, and nothing is ever to much or to hard for them. We will continue to use AJW Plant Hire for all our excavation needs!
Aaron - ANJ Carpentry & Concrete
Unreal service from a dedicated family owned business! Happy to help with setting up the machine and actually teach you how to use it! Will be using again!
Mitch - ARH Engineering
