Smiths shortlisted for Award
Smiths Equipment Hire’s depot in Cleveleys has been announced as the first shortlisted candidate for the 2012 Hire Network Award. Two other nominees for the Award, which recognises excellent service at an individual depot, will be chosen in November and December, with the winner being announced during the Executive Hire Show in February. The Hire Network’s Hire Controller, Jon Norris told EHN, “Smiths’ Cleveleys depot give us consistently good service, which may not sound dramatic, but is essential in a fast moving business environment. Andy Davidson and his team normally provide same day delivery, and if they say it will be there, it is. We have given them some fairly ‘messy’ hires, on sea walls and in the middle of fields, but somehow they always manage to pull it off.”
• This year’s Hire Network Award Winner,
Rapid Hire Services of Hayes, is featured in ‘Essential reading’, starting on page 37.
Seddons introduces Honda engine training
Seddons, which this year is celebrating its Diamond Jubilee, and its sister company, BrownPower, have introduced a three year engine training programme in association with Honda, aimed at helping UK hire companies to train their workshop personnel in repairing and maintaining Honda powered machinery in their fleets. The one day course is held at the Honda Engine Academy in Swindon and covers a range of topics such as carburettor cleaning and tuning, as well as engine dismantling and reassembly. A certificate is issued at the end of the session.
Pete McMutrie, Seddons’ National Accounts Manager said, "We were aware of the effort hire companies were making to train their apprentices, and we wanted to work closely with them to help achieve this. The course gives the opportunity to gain experience and knowledge from experts. GAP, Hire Station, Jewsons, Select Plant Hire, Speedy and Supply UK have already joined the scheme, and many more companies are showing interest for 2012.”
