Modelmakers - About us
Here at Modelmakers we have a large, enthusiastic and highly skilled team. This team has evolved over the past few years into a very stable, highly motivated workforce with one common goal – enjoying the satisfaction of a job well done. As such, we take personal pride in the quality of every project that leaves the work shop. We believe by focusing on quality rather than quantity we can enjoy our work and build customer satisfaction. Take a quick look at our “Testimonials” page to see the positive feedback we get from this approach.
Having completed many hundreds of widely varying projects for hundreds of widely varying clients, we’ve learned two basic truths – teamwork is crucial – and communication is even more crucial. You can’t have one without the other and both are essential for the successful completion of a job. And we believe the client is just as much a part of this process as we are. Don’t worry, we’ll do the model making; we just feel it is important to keep the client informed and involved as the model progresses so that any unforeseen issues can be resolved before they become major problems.
Communication is the key. If we say we’ll do something we’ll do it. If there’s something we can’t do we’ll tell you, rather than give it a go and hope for the best. If something doesn’t quite make sense we’ll query it, rather than plough blindly on.
It’s not rocket science but it works. The bigger and more complicated a project is, the more crucial these simple principles are. It’s an approach that’s enabled us to consistently produce top quality models, time after time, for almost two decades.
