Success Stories

“I had requested Firefly to give me a road solution for Amrutha Coffee - which is located in a high rainfall area, with movement of container trailers on a regular basis. I had explained to them that the conventional road surfaces require regular maintenance and patch work; considering the type of vehicular movement. It's been 9 years since they constructed the roads in the factory premises and I haven't had a single issue with the road - in spite of being battered by floods two years in a row and regular heavy truck movements. I couldn't be more satisfied with the Magnafix roads.”

‘Brilliant work! Exactly what we wanted. Great job done by all involved. 🙂 The hands on approach is extremely inspiring and humbling at the same time! This attitude will help the team go places. Beers in our “neighbourhood bar” are on me for all. 🙂 Thanks for everything.’

"The best reason that I will choose to recommend them is because they always ‘under-promise’ and ‘over – deliver’. The results have exceeded our expectations. Thank you for creating the lovely ‘Tamara Gardens’. The venue has become the most sought-after location in the hotel and the return on investment was worth the time, effort and money."
