A new UK grouping of independently owned access rental companies – the Access Alliance held its first meeting in Leeds last week.
The new organisation is following the formula of the UK’s Access Link in which a number of regional companies with common aims and quality standards agree to work together to provide their customers with a national coverage.
Ben Hirst of founder member Horizon Platforms said: “The support and enthusiasm that we have had has been incredible. Each member offers a professional customer focussed service in their own region and the prospect of extending this organisation is very exciting.”
“We are pleased to welcome other companies on board, however we are not prepared to dilute the quality of service, as a result certain standards of equipment are required and more importantly a passion for customer service and attention to detail is a prerequisite”, Hirst adds.
The initial membership comprises the following companies:
- Access Plus Scotland
- Horizon Platforms Northern England
- G T Access Midlands/ South West
- London Tower Services London/South East
- Mr Plant London/ South East
- ES Access North East
- G B Access Northamptonshire
- Sky High Access East Anglia
- Tracked Access London/South East
