HIRE NEWS Hire advice from industry expert Dan Daintry
IN A speech, Prime Minister Theresa May revealed there is more to her Government than Brexit by announcing new measures to boost housebuilding.
The PM’s government also provided alternative methods to deal with the ‘housing crisis,’ such as allowing an extra two storeys to be added to houses and fl ats.
When developing houses, building companies and tradesmen need to know all about the current market for hiring or buying tools.
In a complex marketplace, it’s essential they receive expert advice. So step forward PAL Hire’s Director, Dan Daintry (RIGHT), whose nationwide company is at the forefront of the booming hire sector.
Dan, who is based in Greater Manchester, said: “With the housing market as competitive as it is, more and more people are choosing to renovate their own homes rather than moving house.
“This has led to an increase in projects across the country, which means more people need to hire tools to do the job.
“We know the importance of having the right tool for the job, but when the job you’re doing is a one-off job, ask yourself: is it worth paying for a piece of kit you’ll never use again? I don’t think it is."
Dan further explained: “When a customer
wants a particular tool, it’s up to a hire fi rm to have that particular product ready to go.
“That’s why it’s important to have a range of products on standby to deal with covering a whole range of tasks – this can lead to good fi nancial practice.”
Dan revealed the hire market has always been strong as it allows both domestic and commercial customers to access tools and equipment which they may not have the fi nancial resources to obtain. For these clients, there wouldn’t be any general value in an option to buy.
He continued: “With so many industries requiring to hire tools for renovation, landscaping, demolition and construction, people will always require temporary access to job specifi c equipment. As long as people are working – there will be people wanting to hire.”
Like most industries, the tool hire sector is trying to improve effi ciency to reduce downtime. Dan believes ‘insider knowledge’ about the hire or sale of tools can mean large cash savings.
He said: “It’s important to select the right tool for a job and not pick cheaper alternatives. Make sure the job is done properly, and it will cost less in the long term.”
When choosing between buying and hiring, Dan's advice is to consider:
Redpath Tool Hire on right path with MHM
BASED in the Borders of Scotland, REDPATH TOOL HIRE is currently expanding their range of generators due to increasing demand from clients throughout Scotland and the Border region.
The company, owned and managed by Alan Redpath, have recently purchased a collection of 2.5kVA and 6.0kVA petrol and diesel sets from the South Wales-based supplier, MHM Plant. With the call for larger sets mounting, the company has now extended their hire fl eet to include 20kVA sets, following a new investment in the MHM GE 20 SSY-MV, UK Rental Specifi cation model.
Redpath Tool Hire have secured an eight-month hire for one of the GE 20 SSY-MV sets with a well-established and renowned house builder.
Before the company selected MHM as their principal supplier of power generation machinery, they carried out an extensive evaluation of generators off ered by other manufacturers. After the completion of this evaluation process, it became evident MHM Plant led the way in meeting their technical and commercial criteria. They have now fi nalised a long- term supply agreement with MHM alongside other key suppliers.
Alan Redpath explained,” We have been dealing with Mat and the team at MHM Plant for nearly two years now. They have demonstrated on numerous occasions their ability to deliver and support hires throughout Scotland, whether it be hire or sale.

This service helps them to extend their range of supply without having to compromise any of their commercial confi dentiality.
