The Swiss sales and rental group Sky Access is celebrating 40 years in business and is changing its name.
SkyAccess traces its roots back to 1984 when a small rental company - Werner Spinnler imported its first work platform, a Denka from Denmark. Martin Vögtli acquired the company in 1995 and changed the name to WS Skyworker in 2002. He later added SkyService and then SkyAccess.
He previously worked with as a project manager for waste handing company Hunkeler Systems, having started out in 1982 as technician with foundation specialist Grueter leaving for Hunkeler after three years.
The company has now been renamed as Sky X, to reflect the wider range of business activity, including investments, real estate and renewable energy systems. The company location and staff remain the same, but the logo will be renewed to reflect the new name, and a new website is also in the works. See: Another Sky
Sky Access Handel will also continue to exist as an independent company. Its areas of activity include work platform distribution and IPAF training for work platforms.
Vertikal Comment
The name changes at Sky Access over the past few years has been a little confusing, but this one sounds a little bit like a X rated Sky TV channel. Having said that the business continues to grow in terms of diversity and strength. So how important is a company name?
