Testimonials

Rotadex were awarded the contract to replace a mixture of mobile and static shelving which housed the archive of the Commonwelath War Graves Commission at its head office in Maidenhead. As the work was carried out during the coronavirus pandemic, special measures had to be put in place regarding working conditions and access, and Rotadex were happy to work with us to develop an approach which worked for all concerned.
We were really impressed with how the Rotadex team planned, managed and executed this work. The work involved, which could have been quite a logistical challenge, actually ran very smoothly due to their efforts, and we were very pleased with the end results, which will help us safely store our collections for the future,

Andrew Fetherston Commonwealth War Graves

We had many challenges throughout the project, including the lift malfunctioning just as the existing shelving was being moved, but this didn’t deter the professional Rotadex team. Rotadex did everything to accommodate our changing plans and we are delighted with the final product.
