About Us
OUR PHILOSOPHY
“It’s unwise to pay too much, but it’s worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money - that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it can’t be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.’’

Colin Campbell, Director Cranic QSS Director Colin Campbell formed the company in November 2004, offering an independent service to equipment manufacturers and consultancy to quarry operators. His first instruction for the newly formed company was the design of a 500 mtph crushing and screening plant utilising equipment from ASTEC of the USA for Demir Export a Turkish company belonging to the KOC Group. Cranic QSS now employs 30 people of several nationalities including Africa, Indian, Pakistani, Philippino and Arab. Recently, Cranic instigated a partnership initiative with leading Business and Technical colleges in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to recruit newly graduated welder/fabricators and engineers who will undertake further training, and development in conjunction with Cranic QSS associated companies. The name Cranic was the brainchild of his daughter Nicola, deriving from the first three initials of her brother Craig and her names. Colin came into the industry directly from secondary education, working as plant operator, Supervisor and eventually Quarry Manager for a number of the major quarrying companies such as Tilcon, RMC, Aggregate Industries and Tarmac. During his 20 years as a QM, Colin was responsible for a number of plant installations and refurbishments, arriving in the UAE in 2000 to manage the installation of a new crushing and screening operation for Stevin Rock LLC.
