THE CHALLENGE
Owens Group needed a reliable partner to ensure the safety and efficiency of their extensive network of industrial doors, gates, and barriers across multiple sites. The challenge was to find a company that could provide reactive callouts, regular maintenance, and expert advice to keep their operations running smoothly.
THE SOLUTION
We began working with Owens Group in February 2021, initially installing a new vehicle barrier. Impressed by the quality of work and reliability, Owens Group expanded the partnership. WPS now handles all maintenance for Owens Group’s industrial doors, gates, and barriers across all their sites.
WHY OWENS GROUP CHOSE WPS
Owens Group needed a company they could rely on for both reactive callouts and scheduled maintenance. Our reputation for reliability, sound advice, and efficient service made them the perfect choice.
