[INDUSTRY NEWS] Jongen said: “I am excited by Ranger’s
growth plans, particularly in Melbourne and the state of Victoria, and readily accept the challenge to expand a subsidiary that replicates what the company has achieved further up the east coast. There are remarkable synergies between Melbourne and Sydney, so we can approach the task with a tried and tested business plan, backed by an existing reputation for delivery of world-class product and expertise.” Expansion into Melbourne chimes with
National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA)-accredited Ranger’s development closer to home, where it is planning to move to a new warehouse three times the size of its existing location. It is also constantly evolving a fleet of distinctive vehicles and mobile testing trucks that remain the heartbeat of the business. Thacker concluded: “We make no secret
of our ambitions to become the country’s biggest force within the lifting marketplace. However, we understand that to achieve that we must expand steadily and astutely, only when personnel and market conditions allow us to implement growth plans. With Ian’s stature
combining with the booming construction market, we are confident this significant step is the right one. Existing and prospective customers should expect us to expand further in the short- to mid-term future.” y

(stand number I2), RSS has claimed one of the event’s top commercial packages, which includes strategic logo placement; digital and print advertisements; branding at the MK Arena over the two days of the expo; 2,000 branded water bottles distributed around the show; and more.
Steve Hutin, managing director at
RSS, said: “Marketing and branding are becoming increasingly important to us as we strive towards status as a truly national lifting equipment company. Before the second day of the show had finished in Telford, we knew we needed to further enhance our profile both before and during next year’s event.” Christine Littlewood, sales and marketing
manager at LEEA, said: “The LiftEx event team were delighted to gain our first sponsor for the 2018 event before this year’s show had even ended. It’s a great barometer by which to measure the success of the 2017 event. We’re looking forward to working with Rope and Sling and helping them to achieve their business goals as one of our gold sponsors.” RSS’s debut was well received in Telford,
but Hutin said the quality of the show and volume of visitors to the exhibit meant they had to go bigger next year. “Based on the amount of people on our stand, particularly on the first day, it was apparent that we needed, one, more floor space
