What Industry Leaders Say
"Prime Processors is a fish processing factory in Hull, established for over 25 years. We specialise in fresh salmon, haddock, and cod. We are dependent on a wide variety of processing machinery. Regular maintenance and service are essential for us. Bart from Control Flow Engineering Services has maintained and serviced our equipment to a high standard for over 10 years. We feel it's appropriate to endorse the excellent service he has given us for all these years. very knowledgeable, reliable and highly recommended."
"I have been using Bart at Control Flow Engineering for service and repair on my Marel long cut smoked salmon slicer. It is really quite old and Bart has kept in very good condition. As a result I don’t have to worry about it breaking down at busy times. If it were to break down though I know I can rely on Bart to come out and repair quickly and efficiently. He always comes when he says and charges me a fair price. I would recommend him to other companies who require help with their slicing machines."
"Since Bart began his independent business, we have always used him for anything regarding our slicing and skinning equipment on site. He is extremely attentive and prompt in his service. His understanding of the machines is second to none, and he is also very skilled at improvising his way out of a seemingly insurmountable problem. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to any manufacturer."
"I have known Bart for about 15 years in previous work and used CFES for over 2 years now for my own business. I would recommend them highly. Bart has unrivalled experience with not only slicing equipment, but also pin boning and skinning machines. I don’t think any machine would be beyond his ability to maintain. Bart is always available for help and advice, which on most occasions, allows us to get up and running immediately."
