Hutchins Bros | 11 aims to maintain a quality management system complying with AS/NZS9001:2000 standards. “We consider good management practice and staff participation essential to the continuation and advancement of our quality systems,” Heidi says. Ensuring high quality has resulted in years’ worth of memorable projects for the company. Recently, they’ve taken on a significant number of multi-building defence contracts over numerous sites, including one that involved supplying fourteen buildings at the Kapooka barracks near Wagga Wagga, NSW. Heidi says they were extremely proud of that particular project. “We’ve really geared ourselves to stay abreast of the ever changing high standards that government contracts require, in terms of safety, quality and respect for the environment.” Going forward, Hutchins Bros Engineering will work to maintain strong relationships with their existing client base and continue to pursue those high-end government contracts as they expand their capacity in the next few years. The couple expect that the company will increase its workshop capacity by 20 to 25 per cent just in the next year or two alone. Looking ahead to the longer term, Bill & Heidi would like to see Hutchins Bros move toward more automated processing to increase efficiency and provide greater value for clients. They also see potential in the idea of adding a double shift in their factory in the not-so-distant future. That way, they can further their capacity and production and cement their image as a leading steel fabricator.
