We deliver a multitude of fit-for-purpose products and solutions necessary in establishing a streamlined operation.

The Blackwoods solution helps you save time and money by eliminating the need to pre-purchase critical inventory.

Our specialist team will be onsite for the duration of the shutdown, managing the sourcing and distribution of goods, attending daily project meetings and providing full reporting on stock usage, spend allocation and budget tracking.

We can also provide consolidated invoices and reports by cost centre, purchase order, usage, KPI or daily spend as well as monitoring spend patterns for use in future shutdowns or audits.
