What you have said about us

"Great price and great service on these excellent cast iron electrodes. We are based in Devon with hundreds of welding suppliers nearer than HIS. But HIS can not be beaten on price and service."

Wayne. Classic Component Treatments, Devon


"Excellent service - ordered online at work over lunch, phone call from Inverness store half an hour later to say ready for collection. Arrived after work to be greeted with purchase. Delighted."

David Maylin


"HIS is excellent for advice , no matter what you want to know about -chainsaw scaffolding power drills etc etc etc. We are very fortunate to have a HIS near us."

Andrew T Fraser


"Excellent product! Robust, easy to move into position when empty, and a much more attractive piece of 'outside furniture' than a metal bunker. Good price compared with Amazon, and prompt efficient service from HIS. Delighted to recommend."

John Kernahan


"I am very impressed by HIS, thank you so much for the replacement elements for the fire and especially the excellent and speedy way in which you handled this matter. Thank you!"

Richard Jackson


"I actually found the website really easy to navigate and I spend far too much time online in my area of work ;)"

Martin King


"Great shop, fantastic stock and staff always helpful and cheerful - a pleasure to visit."

Carol Bulloch


"Can I just thank your staff for the excellent service received at HIS when myself and another member of staff at Charleston Academy visited recently with two pupils. We met several employees, all of whom went out of their way to give us advice as to what to buy. It is a real pleasure to meet such friendly and knowledgeable assistants, and the quickness of delivery after ordering was also very impressive. Keep up the good work."
