What our customers think

Chris Walmsley

Maintenance Manager, Consumer Foods

Working in food production means refrigeration is a massively important part of the operation to ensure product quality and safety is met. Keeping the equipment well maintained and operational is a priority. Seward Refrigeration take the headache out of this for me as I am confident their work is to a high standard and can relax knowing our equipment is well maintained through our service contract. All the engineers that attend site  have the same hardworking mentality and good knowledge, so I feel I am in safe hands in the event of a breakdown night or day, 7 days a week. The family owned / run ethos is evident at all tiers in the business from management down to the engineers.  Requesting quotes for parts, service work or other information is never any trouble. If anyone is looking for a refrigeration contractor, I would highly recommend Seward Refrigeration. I deal with many service providers on a day-to-day basis and if all of them were like Seward’s my life would be much easier!

Andrew Saunders

Arctica ( Architecture & project management)

Refrigeration Design and Installation contract

The deserts project was a moveable feast being designed and procured very much on a just-in-time basis. The refrigeration package was awarded to Seward following a competitive tender process. As always, budget was the primary concern and Seward were proactive in providing solutions that suited the constraints of the programme and site as well as the Client’s finances.

We particularly appreciated Seward’s approach to their work. Changes to scope or equipment were taken willingly on board and requests for cost variations were always forthcoming in a timely manner to ensure that we could keep a tight rein on the budget.

Seward Refrigeration are a family run business and this showed through the friendly and helpful manner with which they approached this project. They were a pleasure to work with and we would certainly put them forward for any future projects

Tony Turner

Head of Engineering, Orchard House Foods

“I’m pleased to provide some great feedback on the service and all-round Project Management received by Seward Refrigeration. I have been using Seward for our Manufacturing site in Corby since 0216. Initially to complete a significant project, replacing site refrigeration, and since then for service and technical support. I can safely say up to that point I had not received such a professional, knowledgeable and effective service and was extremely happy with the whole installation, from initial scoping to the final sign off and commissioning. The team that worked on site were courteous, efficient and most of all safe. The confidence that this gave me from day 1 was invaluable. I would not hesitate to engage and employ Leigh Seward and the team for any future contracts and look forward to that day.”

 

Paul Barton

Site Engineering Manager

We have been using Seward Refrigeration for over 10 years. Throughout this time, we have found them to be responsive when required for breakdowns. They are also price competitive for new installations and maintenance.

Seward Refrigeration have installed numerous HFC plants ranging from 15 to 800kgs and one large Ammonia system of 1060kgs. We have found their installation teams very professional and perform high quality work to exacting safety standards.

Their service team carry out our site-wide refrigeration maintenance including statutory f gas leak detection. The same team also attend our breakdowns in a timely manner and are quick to resolve our issues to ensure lost production time is kept to a minimum.

Seward Refrigeration have also been at the forefront in driving energy savings across the plant with various initiatives to reduce energy consumption. I would recommend Seward Refrigeration to any industrial refrigeration user.

 

Peter Saint

Engineering Manager

We have been using Seward Refrigeration Ltd for over 4 years for service/maintenance and installation projects. They carry out a 1 day/week maintenance for all our refrigeration plant on site, consisting of large industrial Ammonia systems, independent HFC systems and glycol chillers. We are very happy with the maintenance schedule they carry out each week including the quick response break down service and experienced technical support back up they provide, also their installations are always completed to a high standard within agreed timescales.

 

Tom Cooper

Site Services Manager, Samworth Brothers, Manton Wood

I have had the pleasure of working with Leigh Seward and the team of engineers at Seward Refrigeration since October 2016. They have worked on various projects on our site from replacing evaporators, installation of new Ammonia compressors, and a re-design where their service team and in-house fabricators worked tirelessly for over 4 months replacing over 60 valve stations and pipework.  We also receive a great service from Seward Refrigeration with them providing an excellent service and maintenance programme for us. On a number of occasions, we have the needed to use the 24hr on call engineering support outside the office opening times. The Seward engineer on call, always responds quickly and a solution is found.

As a large food production company, it is key that our refrigeration plant is working efficiently as we operate 24/7. This means working closely with Seward Refrigeration, and I trust their engineers to find solutions should any problems arise.

I can highly recommend using Seward Refrigeration Ltd as a company that has the experience, knowledge, and value in the services that they deliver.

 

Bernie Curtis

Dimensions, Project & Management Services Ltd

I have been involved with Seward Refrigeration on a number of projects and installations over a period of several years. I have found that as a company they always conduct themselves in a professional manner. They have a flexible an open mind when discussing potential projects and always endeavour to provide a robust and cost-effective solution to meet the customer’s requirements.

Their installation, testing and commissioning work is always carried out to a high standard and should issues arise they are resolved promptly and effectively.

As a company they are a very open company making contract negotiations that much smoother and crucially at the end of the project their prime objective is to ensure that all issues are resolved to the mutual satisfaction of both parties.

 

Chris Mullin

Bakery Engineering Manager (Greggs Bakery Northwest

Seward Refrigeration have been our company of choice over the past 6 years, and I would like to forward this testimonial as to my considered opinion regarding their support and performance over this period.

I work for an industry leader within the food manufacturing sector which has a major input into food on the go sector. For the past 14 years I have worked for this company in the capacity of Bakery Maintenance Manager, this is a roll that I have carried out in a professional basis throughout my career, my previous employers being Matteson Walls, Unilever and British Petroleum. At our bakery we run a twenty-four seven operation which is demanding from both a maintenance and production point of view, this in itself makes it imperative that only the best maintenance support is used.

Seward Refrigeration have been efficient and proactive in meeting our companies’ requirements, they have designed and installed our refrigeration systems and have struck just the right balance between being a flexible and easy to deal with local firm yet having all the key strengths attributes and rigour necessary to support a large turnkey project and the following service / maintenance schedules required by a bakery of this size and standard. Their staff provide twenty-four hour cover they are reliable, knowledgeable and familiar with our equipment, however as good as their team are they are only as good as the management supporting them and I can only give my highest endorsement to Graham Jackson (maintenance manager) and his team who are always willing to go that extra mile.
