I am interested in talking to people involved in the access business, or those wanting to get into it. Height for Hire is a family-run access machinery rental business based in Ashbourne, Co. Meath, Ireland. We have been operating since 1978 and have a fleet of 2,000 machines across 19 locations* (8 in ROI; 1 in NI; 5 in UK; 5 in Central Europe). We have the largest access range of any company within the British Isles, split into four divisions - core access machinery, truck mounts, spider lifts and self drives. However, it is the way in which we deliver our rental service that makes us different. We value uptime. That is why we constantly invest in the best machinery, renewing our fleet more often than the competition. We are proud of the fact that this, enabled by our 24/7 Technical Support, has allowed us to cover our customers in the most extreme of locations around the clock. We embrace technology, introducing closed loop software systems developed in-house to cater for Service, Sales and Transport. All service records are stored digitally and key certification can be accessed using unique QR codes located on each machine. To complement this innovation we use Net Promoter Score to see how our customers rate our service. We believe in diversity and in our people. The Department for Work and Pensions (Britain’s state welfare system) recognised this culture within our company, making a short video to tell the story of one of our recent recruits. It has achieved over 80,000 hits and 280 likes through various social media platforms. Jayne continues to take full advantage of all training opportunities and is an inspiration to both her colleagues and our customers. Jayne’s Story http://heightforhire.com/en/access-industry-news/jayne-parkes-finds-a-way-at-height-for-hire/73 We are always learning. That is because we are disciplined, we are committed and we find a way. That is what makes us the access specialists.
