If you are working within the tools, equipment and plant hire industry you have undoubtedly heard of the Executive Hire Show, however if you haven’t here is a brief run-down of what it’s all about.
The Executive Hire show first started in 2007, with the aim of creating an event where hirers can meet suppliers. The executive hire show is a trade-only event only open to hire executives throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland. The show attracts executives from procurement and purchasing departments of large national hire companies as well as independent hire companies.
Alongside well-known companies such as, JCB, SafetyLiftinGear will be exhibiting over 2 stands. One promoting our height safety, confined space access and rescue and tool safety ranges and the second promoting our material handling and load restraint products. Expect to see promotions on pallet trucks and material lifts all day!
So if you are planning on visiting make you stop by stands D80 and X32 and check out our products!
Last week, the SafetyLiftinGear team attended the ABTT Theatre Show at Alexandra Palace in London. We think it's safe to say that the event went terrifically well - not only did we meet lots of new clients and interesting people, we actually came away from Alexandra Palace with a new trophy for the SLG cabinet!
Our Duke DCH battery-powered chain hoist was chosen as ABTT's Widget of the Year 2015, which is an award for the most useful product at the show. The trophy we received is pictured above alongside the prize-winning hoist itself (thanks to Meg and Lucy for their modelling skills!)
Here's what the ABTT judges had to say about the Duke DCH:
"The judges were very impressed with this product, and expect to see them in numerous applications and in the hands of many technicians soon, especially considering the budget conscious price tag. The benefits of a lightweight battery-powered motor capable of lifting 250kg or 500kg are huge. This is exactly the type of tool that will help solve many of the problems that working technicians have to deal with daily, offering a safe way to haul without needing large power and control infrastructure."
We were thrilled to receive this award from the Association of British Theatre Technicians, and we hope that everyone else enjoyed this year's show as much as we did!
