Access Link appoints more new members

In a meeting at the end of last week, the Access Link refocused its efforts on its principle objective of providing customers with a national service from independently owned regional rental companies.

The members approved two more appointments at the meeting and continues discussions with a number of other companies that have applied to join the group to help fill the locations left vacant by the departure of Panther platform rentals and A.M.P.

The companies approved at last weeks meeting are 2 Cousins Access Ltd of Oxford. And Glo Hire of Dartford in Kent.

The two new members join Light Hire of Exeter, appointed in June, all three companies have been working with Link members for some time, which helped accelerate their appointment.

Ruairi Duggan, of Link member UpLift, said “Both of these companies have been dealing with existing Link members for some a while now, during which time they have proved their commitment to customer service and high standards of equipment.”

“It is fair to say that even with the three new members we will still require further new members for the Southern regions. We have a number of applications in the pipeline and are sure to have more appointments at our next meeting in September.”
