Green Access opens in Telford

A new name in the UK powered access market - Green Access Platforms - has opened a depot in Telford, Shropshire. The company and the people however, are not entirely new to the access.

According to Companies House, Green Access Platforms is the new name for Access Rentals London Ltd, and it is owned by Pierrick Lourdain previously of Haulotte. From 2004 to 2007 he was responsible for Haulotte UK and UK Platforms. After leaving Haulotte in 2008 he started Access London 08, which he owned until it was put into liquidation in 2012.

The new Telford location in Stafford Park 6 is, we understand, owned by access veteran and businessman Keith Kendall, who previously owned Mercadel Plant, Access Rentals and, following its administration and take-over by Haulotte/UK Platforms, Direct Access Hire. He is, we understand more involved in the company than simply being its landlord.

A flyer we have seen also shows that another industry veteran, Mike Wishart, is the company’s sales & marketing director. Wishart held a senior marketing job at A-Plant in the 1990s where he was responsible for aerial lift purchases, and was then part owner and managing director of Access Rentals until his departure from that business in 2008.

We have contacted Green Access Platforms and are hoping to be able to update this item with further information in the near future.
