WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

I cannot recommend Jamie Hardie at Thistle enough.
We have finally found a very reliable person for all my equipment servicing needs and he has saved my bacon on many occasions from fixing my vac packer, lift and slicer.
Will always prioritise breakdowns!
He’s very much a part of the business now.

I have known Jamie for at least 12 years on a professional basis.
Jamie is reliable, punctual and honest, and always available upon request.
We will continue to use his service and recommend him to all in the industry and we wish him all the best
