• Jim is looking after us very well. I am quite impressed, although, having worked with him before, not surprised.

• I have used the competition before and heard of the Colony name in and around the industry. There are several factors that were important in selecting Colony for the Fletcher Challenge project: price, more Canadian content than any other supplier and we were very impressed with both Jim Peacey and David Thompson. We were informed about Colony's five year warranty and it helped influence our decision to choose Colony for this project.

• The project was very demanding on all fronts, technical, coordination and a tight delivery... I worked very closely with Jim Peacey during the project and found him always professional and extremely good at keeping things on track. He made his engineering information needs known to us in no uncertain terms, but also tried hard to accommodate us. Overall I was very satisfied with Colony and would enjoy the chance to work with you again.

• The winter road became our critical path and I have to say that you guys jumped through some pretty big hoops to satisfy our requirements for that ice road...Jim really went that extra mile to find fabrication shops and detailers to get that processed and onto our ice road…Jim was a key component in giving us the success that we got…I worked with Jim in the past. In all the years I’ve known Jim he’s always been open with all our dealings. His honesty and business integrity is top shelf...I know I can trust Jim to deliver.”

• Very pleased…I think there’s quite a bit of amazement about how fast the Blackcomb terminal building went up…how smoothly it went up and how co-operative the erectors have been…Colony’s ability to kind of step in and handle the Rodeca panel installation is a real assistance to us because we really wanted to use the Rodeca but we didn’t have anybody to install it so we appreciate Jim and the team stepping up to the plate on that.

• You and Kallin have been most helpful. I really appreciate your responsiveness. As I have learned over the past few weeks, "it's just how Colony and it's people do things". You guys are awesome!
