Testimonials
“Lanz was introduced to Eugene many years ago when we were in the market to purchase a small screening plant for our depot in Colnbrook. Myself and my father met with Eugene and his expertise and knowledge helped us with making our decision to purchase our first screen. This was the start of an excellent business relationship between Lanz and Eugene. It has always been a pleasure to deal with him as his extensible knowledge of his products and understanding of our requirements has resulted in us purchasing many items of plant and machinery from him, including a Crusher and Sorting Line that we have installed into our site at Maidenhead. I have always found Eugene to be a true gentleman and someone that I would highly recommend to any business - big or small.”
— Douglas Hepsworth, Managing Director, Lanz Group
“Having operated within the waste and recycling sector for 25 years we have known Eugene for all of them. He has not only been a supplier of equipment to us but also a very valuable ear to call on when we have been researching different ideas for our company which are new to us where we needed some industry knowledge on a particular sector. Even when not being able to supply us himself he would always know someone who we could talk to which would enable us to push forward with our ideas…”
— Spencer Ray, Managing Director, T W Services
“Eugene Donnelly has been supplying The Chambers Group with various machinery and parts for over 30 years. During that time we have always found Eugene to be knowledgeable, accommodating and on the rare occasions we have had any issues with the equipment he has always been quick to resolve any problems.”
— Emma Chambers, Finance Director, Chambers
“I have worked with Eugene Donnelly on different builds and plant installations for over 35 years +. I previously worked for A&J Bull Ltd and the last 18 years with Taurus Waste Recycling. I’ve always found Eugene to have excellent knowledge of equipment and process methods and would recommend him to anybody in my industry. I’ve always run my business in a hands on method and I must say this is Eugene’s great asset, he will come and spend time at the coal face and work with you, fully understanding your needs, aims and goal. He has a wealth of experience which really is invaluable.”
— Stephen Mills, Managing Director, Taurus Waste Recycling
“I personally have had the pleasure of buying quite a few crushers from Eugene over the years through the Blue Group and whilst almost every deal throws up challenges and problems we always managed to find an amicable solution. Would definitely recommend seeking his advice on equipment in this sector.”
— Harry Allen, Managing Director, Aitch Demolition & Plant Hire LTD
“Eugene has great knowledge when helping to select or spec the right machine for the job and is always very fair to deal with.”
— Billy Fowles, Director, Hythe End Farm
“My father and I first met Eugene back in 1994 when we purchased a Powerscreen from his company, Powerscreen Equipment Ltd. Since that time he has supplied us with numerous equipment ranging from screening, crushing, shredding, waste sorting and baling. We have always found his advice to be straightforward and honest, even when the scope of machinery was outside what he could supply, and we continue to source from him and consult with him on many other projects. I have no hesitation in providing this testimonial for Eugene, he has been involved around our recycling business for over 25 years.“
- Gary Short, Managing Director, Shorts Group
“I have known and dealt with Eugene Donnelly through his companies for in excess of 20 Years . During this period Eugene has been extremely professional and honest in an industry which is renowned for a few unsavoury types. His advice and help has proved invaluable to us, he was instrumental in helping us install a new plant, which in turn improved our profitability so we could sell our business. He has helped us again with advice and help with our new scrap metal business.
I do not normally write references or recommend people but I have no hesitation doing this for Eugene. He is a very trustworthy and knowledgeable guy and we will continue to use his help.”
— Paul Foster, Managing Director, New Era Metals
