A key mechanical and engineering national supplier with a branch in Parkes has won a major award at the NSW Parliament House last Thursday.
The PJL Group took out the Outstanding Supplier category in the 2017 NSW Mining Industry and Supplier Awards.
PJL Group General Manager, Luke Buck- land, said: “The Mining Industry and Sup- plier Awards recognise the people and the businesses whose hard work and achieve- ments help to make NSW mining strong. I would like to congratulate PJL Group employees from across Australia for helping the business to achieve such an award and for always giving 110% on every job.
PJL Group Manager in Orange, Ben Hockey, and PJL Group Major Projects and Tender Coordinator, Dean Jarvis, were on hand to receive the award.
The Outstanding Supplier Award recognises a business that can demonstrate excellence in working with the NSW minerals industry by adding value to a mining operation through one-off projects or on-going relationships with clients.
PJL commenced operations in Orange in 2006 with three mates purchasing a truck, which they refurbished as part of establishing their mechanical engineering busi- ness. The business now operates from five permanent sites in Orange, Parkes, Cobar, Mt Isa and Perth employing 320 people.
The business operates 24 hours a day providing a full range of services includ- ing mechanical and maintenance, engineering and fabrication, service exchange components, line boring, labour hire, non- destructive testing, equipment hire and sales, installation and construction and design services.
