Regional general manager Steve Caygill said: “In recent years, demand for access equipment has grown dramatically throughout the Middle East. This is where we see access as yet another rental and lease solution that complements our established business model, and more importantly, it underscores our supply capability in the equipment rental field as a true ‘one stop shop’.”

“As the market matures here in the Gulf Cooperation Countries, we have seen a sizeable shift in demand for operational efficiency from our clients. With this comes the requirement for them to operate faster and more cost effectively, hence the need for suppliers that we can trust both in terms of best in class products, the scale and calibre of the supply chain, and local aftersales support coverage that dovetails into our culture of always adding benefit to our client’s expectations. Genie provides Byrne Equipment Rental the peace of mind in ramping up on this major investment initiative.”
