“Success for a hire company<br />
is all about meeting the<br />
demands of the customer<br />
with the aim of providing<br />
a one-stop shop for hire<br />
needs across all industries<br />
with innovative solutions,”<br />
says the man who heads<br />
up HSS /Laois Hire Group, managing<br />
director Michael Killeen. “At HSS Hire/ Laois<br />
Hire Group we firmly believe that we can<br />
provide an unrivalled hire experience.”<br />
Constant investment, of course, is also<br />
key to the success of this award winning<br />
company that is currently focused on<br />
a programme of expansion in Ireland,<br />
with four new branches recently opened<br />
at Connswater in Belfast, Portadown<br />
in County Armagh, Tivoli in Cork, and<br />
Enniscorthy - and a further two branches<br />
due to open this year in Limerick and the<br />
Dublin docklands.<br />
Apart from major investment in the latest<br />
range of plant equipment, the group has<br />
also won a number of specialist agencies,<br />
including Selwood, Western Global,<br />
Husqvarna, and most recently ComPair.<br />
New agencies<br />
Since Laois Hire acquired the agencies<br />
for both Selwood Pumps and Western<br />
Tanks things have gone from strength to<br />
strength. The Selwood and<br />
Western brands need no introduction as<br />
they are World leaders when it comes to<br />
their respective areas and Laois are proud<br />
to be working in part customernership with<br />
them in Ireland helping to deliver projects<br />
on time and on budget.<br />
The range of products that both can offer<br />
is exceptional, from fuel efficiency to<br />
environmental. These products are a must<br />
for anyone looking to manage costs and<br />
help protect the environment at the same<br />
time. Laois can see continued growth<br />
with the Selwood and Western products<br />
and are looking forward to exciting times<br />
ahead. The group recently completed a<br />
major investment in mini excavators from<br />
ECI JCB; the new 8026 mini and 86C-1<br />
midi excavators are available to hire from<br />
its established network of hire branches<br />
and supercentres across Ireland.<br />
Comments Michael “We have made this<br />
substantial investment to meet the<br />
increased demands from our customers.<br />
We have found JCB to be an excellent<br />
brand, trouble free, very popular with our<br />
customer base and backed up by an<br />
excellent service. We have also found that<br />
certain customers will request JCB<br />
equipment for certain projects.<br />
“A trouble free machine means no<br />
customer down time and undue costs to<br />
contracts that need to be completed on<br />
tight schedules. We noticed big demand<br />
almost immediately for these machines.”
