“Following a year of such posivity, we had all hoped for a much needed boost to our economy to match the high spirits we were feeling as a naon. So, it was disappoinng from a general business perspecve that the economy stubbornly refused to shi, delivering negligible growth. At ArcGen Hilta we approached this year’s challenges with a can-do atude and evolved to meet new market opportunies.


“We saw increasing numbers of rental business moving away from the tradional method of purchasing goods to a more flexible rent- to-rent or rent to purchase model. Whilst this may only be short term, we have proacvely remodeled our operaons and diversified to cater for this shi in demand – something that, as a fih generaon family business, we’ve become adept at!


“Our strategy to build on our exisng trade in tradional market places was crical, but so too was our expansion into new markets.

People power


At ArcGen Hilta, power is our business; so the people who make the cogs turn are central to what we do.


Over the past year, we have invested in our future with the appointment of our newest apprence Nick Tenn. The 17-year-old has joined the Wolverhampton team to learn alongside the experienced engineers refurbishing pre-owned onsite machinery before it goes on the resale market.


Focus has also fallen on business development, with two new managers appointed to bring specific experse and create opportunies in new markets. Marn Dickson now heads up development in the Hilta Pumps and Power Washer division, bringing in a wealth of experience from me spent at naonal hire companies HSS Hire, Godwin and Euroflo Pumps. We have also appointed Robin Parkin to lead development of the company’s market-leading range of lighng soluons and draw on his 30 years of experience in the industry.


With 2012 taking its place as a momentous year for Great Britain, Chris Morris, Chief Execuve of ArcGen Hilta, calls on business leaders to use the energy, passion and drive of the past year’s achievements to inspire UK businesses in 2013.

right technology to enable progress and developed a team who can deliver new ideas and outstanding world class products – bringing in both senior level managers and fresh young apprence talent.


“This investment in young blood, alongside our experienced team, ensures we offer the right blend of fresh thinking and proven experience and this strategy has allowed us to bring new concepts to market helping to diversify and expand our reach. Our Solite temporary lighng kit, for example, opened up fresh opportunies in television and film markets and even got the 007 seal of approval featuring on locaon on a number of film and TV sets, including that of James Bond: Skyfall.


“The UK economy will connue to be unpredictable as we move into 2013 and we should not be afraid to acvely evolve our business models. Future planning remains crical and requires investment in people, products and technologies; and with those principles in hand we at ArcGen Hilta look forward to a promising 2013!”
