I have worked with Armadillo Engineering Ltd since the mid 90's
The best part about my experiences is that they have always gone above and beyond to ensure my needs were met.
They were always very responsive to any questions I had, and it was clear that both service and supply were a top priority for them.
I would recommend Armadillo to anyone looking for good quality work at a reasonable price.
