“ ” Congratulations to
Executive Hire News on making it to the grand old age of 40.
I find it amazing to recount that I have been in the hire industry for all bar eight of those years. I console myself in the knowledge that I will never be as old as EHN’s Publisher! In all seriousness, I have read EHN and its forerunner, Hire News, since the early days. The journal is an absolute must read. Whether it is the in-depth analysis of the Top Ten hirers or the current news of the hundreds of quality independent hirers, it is always a good read. Keeping us up to date with product developments and Health & Safety issues is also very important. So many trade journals have gone down the road of ‘advertorials’, and it is refreshing to see EHN using quality journalists who have a passion for our industry. To all the EHN team: keep up the good work. Hopefully we will all still be around in another 40 years!

I genuinely keep a keen lookout for each issue of EHN. It keeps me updated with the latest industry news, and the Market Reports provide information on the latest products for seasonal markets like grounds care and lighting. The articles on other hirers enable you to compare experiences and learn new ideas. And I always marvel at how Crosshire manages to discuss the current topics and issues of concern to hirers like me. I know his identity is Top Secret, but the Crosshire column could only be written by someone who is really
close to the hire industry and understands what we all experience. ” “ Peter Houldridge, MD, Complete Hire Services, Hull
I value EHN because it gives me an up to date assessment of how our industry is performing, and the current issues facing it. The articles on other hirers also allow me to make comparisons against our own operation. The magazine has kept me informed about Health & Safety legislation and other regulations, while the
Market Reports and articles on new products give a clear idea of what is available. It means that we do not have to spend so much
valuable time ourselves searching for equipment and suppliers.
” 39 Some of the
other publications I receive go straight in the bin, but I always read EHN. I am very interested to learn about hirers in different parts of the country and the ways they operate. You know your own local area, of course, and the products that suit your particular customer base, but it’s fascinating to see what is proving successful for other companies. Crosshire invariably makes me laugh. It could only be written by someone who really understands our industry and the challenges we all face every day, particularly from an independent’s point of view.

“ “ I appreciate
the fact that EHN ensures independent hirers have a voice, and I always enjoy reading about other companies and the various challenges they have overcome. The articles on manufacturers and suppliers keep me informed about
new products, and this has been particularly useful for finding Health & Safety solutions associated with work at height, HAV and dust. Overall, it’s great that EHN is still putting so much effort into representing our industry and promoting a positive, realistic message.

I’ve been reading Hire News and EHN ever since I started working in this industry in 1987 with HSS, and then while working with Hewden before establishing Premier Hire Centre in 1999. For independents like us, the magazine is a window on the world, informing us about what is happening in our industry as a whole. Its fascinating reading about other hirers and it’s always interesting to see what new products they have been adding to their fleets. I also enjoy reading Crosshire, which always me laugh, and the Forum to find out about the current issues facing hirers. All in all, there’s really nothing quite like EHN for our industry.
