Feedback from some of our recent customers

"I had the pleasure of working alongside Kieran on a day-to-day basis to deliver the most complex machined casting for an 8 speed DCT transmission for an OEM customer. Kieran's support, patience and thorough explanation of the technical challenges through the complex development process allowed me as the Project Manager to confidently manage both the supplier and the customers’ expectations daily from an informed and knowledgeable position and made my job so much easier. His flexible and adaptable approach to work, expertise and his ability to work at all levels was a real asset, especially when I was unable to support some supplier and customer meetings, as I could entrust him without worry to pick up the ball and run with it in my absence. A knowledgeable, very good all-rounder that is hard to find these days and is a real pleasure to work with."

Paul Ibbotson
Project Manager

"Kieran went above and beyond in all aspects of the job. He identified issues with the design that I had not foreseen, rebuilt the design from scratch to ensure no aspect was overlooked, and provided solutions immediately to challenges he found. After some explaining about the end use of the product, he was able to offer ways to optimise the product further than I had thought. His evaluations of potential manufacturers was thorough and his interaction with the chosen manufacturer was in depth, clear and punctual."

Scott
Manager

"Kieran is able to bridge the gap between what management want and what manufacturing can deliver.
In the field of Casting his intuition for the process and knowledge of casting technical nuances means he is able to push both the design and guide manufacturers to produce excellent results."

Paul Cowsill
Design Engineer

"5* Kieran was amazing. His communication was excellent, responded very quickly, started working on the project the same day I purchased, and problem solved every little detail with my design. He clearly knows what he is talking about and has put in all his efforts to create a perfect design. I highly recommend his service and will use him again on my next project."

Melissa Cloutier
Client

"Kieran's description of his abilities was accurate. He is very capable and responsive. He worked very quickly and efficiently, cheerfully incorporating suggestions and revisions within a short time frame. I have no hesitation in recommending Kieran to anyone who needs mechanical engineering work, or calculations, done."

Duncan Gilmour
Client

"Kieran was an excellent teammate on my project. He leveraged his considerable knowledge to make valuable recommendations and guide the design process effectively. He was flexible with multiple revisions, regularly available to discuss problems we were working through, and stuck to schedule. Most importantly, I got a high quality design at the end of the project. I highly recommend Kieran if you are looking for a quality mechanical engineer/CAD expert for your next project."
