Access rental specialists Easi UpLifts have recently acquired the trading name Height for Hire Ltd in the UK. Having traded successfully as Height for Hire in Ireland since the early eighties, their operations were branded Easi UpLifts in the UK since they opened their first UK depot in Belfast in 1996. The acquisition will see the consolidation of Easi UpLIfts (Aerials) Ltd and Easi UpLifts (NI) Ltd into a newly incorporated UK company Height for Hire Ltd from 1st July 2015 and will allow Height for Hire to trade as one brand across the British Isles. However, our operations in Hungary and Slovakia will retain the Easi UpLifts brand and will remain an important part of our international portfolio of companies in Central Europe. Commenting on the acquisition, Founder and Chairman Harry Mc Ardle said, “While our customers will continue to receive the high level of service and quality they always have, trading under the one brand in both Ireland and the UK is an exciting step forward for us as a company and the personal fulfilment of a lifelong goal.” Fergus Mc Ardle, Managing Director of Height for Hire commented saying, “Now that we have unified both markets under the one brand, we can continue to keep our promise to provide a service that gives more uptime, has greater compliance to safety standards and a more comprehensive range of specialised access equipment than anyone else. We look forward to continuing to find a way to protect people and their property in the working at height industry."
