Narrowing the GAP – Waltham Cross opens
for business National Hire Solutions Provider, GAP, has recently opened another ‘super depot’ in Waltham Cross, North of London. The new depot further strengthens the company’s presence in ‘London & the South East’, bringing the number of locations to 13 and making it GAP’s biggest region. The two acre site will host 5 of GAP’s 8 divisions namely, Plant & Tools, Lifting, Survey, Non-Mechanical Plant and Welfare Services. The Waltham Cross depot will provide customers in the area with an extensive range of quality, modern equipment, with over £1 million spent on the new premises and £6 million on hire equipment. Over the past few years, the south of England
as a whole has delivered substantial growth for GAP as a result of increased construction activity and a concerted investment in new depots and equipment. GAP also recently opened another ‘super depot’ in Bournemouth and has plans to open further strategic locations in the South East during 2014. Jon Rae, Operations Director commented;
“GAP’s presence in the south of England has strengthened significantly over the past few years. We have established the GAP brand across the area, and are now recognised as a major player in the South by national and local contractors alike. We are excited about having all five divisions working under one roof at Waltham Cross and pushing GAP forward as the market-leading hirer in the region.”
