Advanced was proposed by Keith John of Oxford based '2 Cousins' who said: "the owner of Advanced Access, John Corcoran has now been trading for nearly five years as Advanced Access Platforms and has built a very tidy company in a good area which has been difficult to service from the existing membership coverage. He has a good fleet mix which fits in well with the Link and offers IPAF training from an excellent training facility."

"John has also pledged his support for the IPAF Rental + quality accreditation and hopes to gain his certification within the next six months."

Vertikal Comment

Advanced is owned and operated by John Corcoran who after many years with Universal Aerial Platforms left to set up All Access and Venture Access, both of which ran into difficulties. His approach at Advanced has been entirely different and far more measured than the rapid, highly leveraged expansion of All Access.

Corcoran, one of the industry’s natural salesmen has built Advanced Access up through the recession, offering rental, sales and training services including IPAF and PASMA certified courses.
