HAE opens new HQ

The Hire Association Europe (HAE) and Event Hire Association (EHA) marked the opening of their new headquarters with an official ceremony led by the son of the Association’s founder earlier this week.

Mark Rogers, whose father John set up the Association in 1974, formally opened the new offices at Birmingham Business Park, on Wednesday.

The offices, will provide member services to more than 1,000 members across the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe. The official opening ceremony also offered members the opportunity to view the new premises, speak to HAE staff about the different member benefits that are available to them and enjoy a glass of champagne!

Graham Arundell, managing director of HAE and EHA, said: “The move to the business park was a natural progression for the Association. Our main priority is providing a high-quality service to each of our members, and by moving bases I believe we can exceed that goal.”

“I am delighted that Mark was able to join us and officially open the offices, as well as collecting a certificate for honorary membership, as both he and his father before him have been long-standing ambassadors of the hire industry.”
