Hi Matt, thank you for the great review. We look forward to working with you again soon.
All good service from Emma G from initial contact to actual hire.
Initial experience from Emma G, Gary at Aberdeen was first class.
Pick-up from local Tesco went OK apart from network glitches and soon on our way.
Machine was excellent and performed well once on site and various trees posing a threat on house and outbuilding were soon remedied.
Managed to tire out three experienced plant operators and now have a massive clean up. All involved would certainly use again if required.

Hi Ian, thank you for your review. We are delighted to hear that you found the hiring process so easy. We have more improvements planned for our booking system in the next few months to make life even easier. We look forward to working with you again soon.
Convenient and easy to use.
Really easy to book and collect as we had a last minute need for the hire. The communication was quick and very helpful. On collection we were given clear instructions for its use.
We will definitely use it again.
Only feedback I would give is that we had a few issues with the online pickup and drop off forms as they didn’t not work, but the person who was at the collection point was very helpful. Also it would be great if the hire included a harness (unless I missed it).
Thanks again and see you next time.
