What Our Customers Say
“Hickman Engineering has successfully executed numerous fabrication projects for us. Their prompt responsiveness and reliability make them our unequivocal choice.”
Grimsby Based Shipping Agency
“Hickman Engineering was chosen due to previous work being carried out and the work always being to the best standard and rectified in the most efficient possible way. As this equipment is used on a day to day basis meaning it’s absolutely essential the work carried out is through. We are very satisfied and will continue to use Hickman Engineering.”
Lincolnshire Based Industrial Support Service Business
“We have a wonderful relationship with Hickman Engineering and especially Shaun & Garrick. We have total trust in them and that they really care about us.
Only the lads know our gear and its quirks. An outsider would almost certainly run into problems or dead ends. We are very pleased that the work was done so efficiently, cleanly and we are back up to full capacity with no closure required. Perfect!
Without a doubt, we would recommend Hickman Engineering. Their slogan is ‘we never shy away’ and this is very apt and true.”
