We’re proud to share some exciting news – GR8 Toolhire has been named “Hire Company of the Year (turnover under £10 million)” at the HAE Hire Awards of Excellence. This recognition is a huge milestone for us, celebrating not only our growth but also the dedication of our team and the trust placed in us by trade professionals and DIYers across the UK.
What Are the HAE Hire Awards of Excellence?
The Hire Association Europe (HAE) is the leading industry body representing equipment and tool hire companies in the UK. Each year, the HAE Hire Awards of Excellence highlight businesses and individuals who go above and beyond in the hire sector. Categories range from technical innovation to customer service, making the awards a benchmark of quality within the industry.
GR8 Toolhire’s Big Night
On Saturday night, our team attended the awards ceremony with high hopes. We were shortlisted in two categories:
