AMH is a new start up which has had significant capital investment in plant, labour, transport and new facilities which operate from St Helens.  AMH locally employs 12 full time staff who support all aspects of the business from Sales through to Operations.   To support the fast pace of growth the Sales team require an efficient quotation system which allows a quick turnaround of quotes and prices to customers.
