TESTIMONIAL


Matthew Stanhope-Smith, Purchasing Manager at GEV Windpower explains the detail... “The OPEX team have supported GEV Offshore across numerous projects within the past 12 months. They have been a vital part of the launch of our new branch (GEV Windpower based in Humberside) providing us with not only office products but also enabling us to provide high quality products to our technicians on Windpower projects. They have supported us through projects with our main client, working on wind farms across both Europe and the UK including; Whitelee, Clyde, Val de Noyes and Klixbull.


PROJECTS VARIANTS AND RESPONSE “These projects were mainly maintenance, repair and power curve upgrades on the wind turbine blades themselves. This meant that we could be needing anything from mastic guns and sandpaper up to specialist distance measurers and humidity gauges. With the nature of the industry being very reactive,


sometimes tooling could be needed at a moment’s notice, this is where OPEX really excel with their incredibly short lead and turnaround times not only on externally sourced items but also their internal embroidery department.


UNRIVALLED KNOWLEDGE “Their sales team are always friendly, knowledgeable and happy to help with any enquiry however big or small. Their knowledge of the industry is unrivalled and this is reflected in the efficient and high quality service that they provide. GEV looks forward to maintaining a strong and close relationship with OPEX going forward with future projects.”
