Very polite and responsive, dropped my hire item off nice and early and collected it within a couple of hours of me saying I'd finished with it. Good price too, would definitely use again.

NICK is always on hand to give good, informative advice on the plant and tools you need. He and the rest of the crew are testament to the name as they are GR8. The consultative way they can help people (who aren't builders/groundworkers or just don't have a clue!) Allows customers to make informed choices on the plant they require. Some of the plant that made my life easier was equipment that I didn't realise existed. "If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire from The GR8-Team."

Really helpful, talked me through alternative options with other businesses as well as thorough overview of their own products & services. I think a hallmark of a great business is when they are confident enough to recommend alternative options to ensure the customer gets exactly what they are after, and not sold something not quite right.

I have used GR8 on at least 4 occasions, each time their service is absolutely spot on, they are all very friendly and give plenty of advice. All the kit I have hired from them has been in excellent condition and has been delivered on time and clean / ready to go. Their prices are very reasonable, even as a retail customer as opposed to a builder etc. If you are looking to hire anything from a breaker to a digger / dumper I would highly recommend you give these guys a call or visit their showroom.

TIME TO RACE @uttlesfordfoodbank 

Uttlesford Foodbank turns 10 years old this year, not an occasion to celebrate as such - our goal is to end the need for food banks altogether - but we’re extremely proud of the support that we’ve provided our community over the last decade and are holding a number of events to commemorate the occasion.
 
One of event that we’re particularly excited about is the Uttlesford Foodbank Day(ish) Rave, being held at Fairycroft House in Saffron Walden on the 19th of October between 3 and 11pm. They will be joined by the cream of Saffron Walden’s DJs and one of its finest bands, who will all be sharing the best of disco and house of all varieties from over the decades with us. They will also be joined by Bonnefirebox Sourdough Pizzas and Ginporium selling the finest gins and cocktails, the Fairycroft bar will also be open for business. 
 
Since the pandemic, demand on the service has increased three-fold and the impact of the cost-of-living crisis has significantly diminished the amount of donations they receive. All proceeds from the event will go directly to the food bank. Tickets are £12:50 for 16 and over, under 16s are free until 8pm (free child tickets can be purchased alongside full price tickets) and can be purchased at https://foodbankdayrave.eventbrite.com.
