Business description

This business started trading in 2003 and was established by its managing director who brought with him years of experience in the same market place.

The operation sells and hires its units to a broad range of clients that includes racecourses, marquee companies, factories and commercial premises. Equipment: The equipment comes from a variety of UK based importers and suppliers. Every item is fully serviced after each and every hire. Prior to delivery it is fully tested and all electrics are checked. Customer Service: Attention to detail pays dividends and helps create customer loyalty.
