Welcome to the Kinsman Contracting 2017/2018 season Newsletter.
It has been a very wet winter; the workshop has been abuzz with the guys busy on maintenance preparing for the coming season. The quieter time has given us a chance to make great head way on Health and Safety.
We can see that once the rain stops and the sun comes out, things will dry up and the season is going to start with a hiss and a roar especially with the Ag work. So please contact Darrin or Ingrid to book in your requirements.
