The workmanship was excellent, communication was seamless throughout, and the project was delivered to the highest standard. Gigawatt consistently deliver exceptional value for money without ever compromising on quality or service. Their professionalism and reliability give us confidence, and we would not hesitate to engage them again on future EV installation contracts.

At EO Charging, we’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Gigawatt Industries as our ICP partner on multiple EV infrastructure projects. Their responsiveness from the initial enquiry stage right through to tendering has been outstanding – always quick to react, thorough in their approach, and proactive in offering solutions.

A great example of this is the Stagecoach Kilmarnock Bus Station project. Gigawatt were instructed at 12 noon on a Friday to deliver a full 90m off-site HV installation, with the route running directly through an adjacent demolition site. The local council granted only a 9-day window to complete the works, with a start date of 9 am the following Monday. Within just three hours of receiving the scope, Gigawatt returned a full quotation and secured the labour and resources required to mobilise. The works were successfully completed within the strict timeframe, with no disruption to demolition.
