Testimonials

“As the largest and most comprehensive refit facility on the East Coast, Fox’s Marina and Boatyard regularly use PJ Downs for reliable and economical boat and equipment movements.

Having worked on various projects with Peter over the last 25 years, I can confirm that he would be our first choice for providing efficient transport and logistical support.

With a range of vehicles, practical solutions, and a contentious approach to every job, I can recommend PJ Downs to anyone who requires a boat moved by road.” – Will Taylor-Jones, Managing Director

“I’d just like to say how pleased we are at City Lifting with the service we received whilst contracting your company’s services on our Contract Lifting project at Great Ormond Street Hospital recently.

The feedback I received from my site team and our client was exemplary and I’d have no issues whatsoever with recommending your services time and time again.

The Hiab vehicle you supplied us was well presented and all of our requested timings were adhered to and also not forgetting Peter Jr and yourself who were a big help on site assisting the site team slinging the loads competently whilst waiting to collect the crane mats.

Moving forward I’d like you to know that whenever we receive an enquiry which involves us lifting then transporting boats we will always look to you to assist us from the inception.”  – Melvyn Rogers

“We have used Peter Downs for our boat transport around the UK for longer than we’d care to remember.  And always we have enjoyed the best relationship. Timings are rigidly adhered to on all bookings and they are keen on pricing.

But perhaps most importantly, they are great custodians of our craft in transit – we couldn’t trust our craft to any better logistics business. Also, they have the experience, patience, and planning to ensure that the biggest boats on the trickiest of routes arrive safe and sound.” – David

“Over the years Peter and his team have moved boats of all shapes and sizes both for us as a company and our clients. During this time they have always been reliable and professional, with every move occurring without issue even when some of the loads or destinations have been very awkward!

They are clearly passionate about their work, have an impressive stock of equipment, and know their trade well and we will continue to use and recommend their services as we always have.” – Aaron French

“I have known Peter and his family for many years, and have dealt with them both from the start of Gunfleet Marine and with a previous employer.

The service has always been 100% reliable and the team is both friendly and helpful. It is a relationship which will go on for many years into the future.” – Mark Underwood, Financial Director

“Oyster has been entrusting PJ Downs with the transport of yachts and masts for more than 25 years. Always helpful and professional with a wide range of kit to suit diverse requirements they are always worth contacting for your transport needs.” Mike Taylor, Head Of Group Commercial
