If you’re in the market for tools or equipment, you may be wondering whether to purchase them outright or to hire them instead. Buying brand-new tools and equipment can be expensive, especially when you only need them for a short period of time. Tool and plant hire companies offer a fantastic alternative that can save you money and help ensure that you have access to the right equipment at all times. In this blog post, we’ll explore some of the benefits of hiring tools and equipment instead of buying them outright.

Convenience

Hiring tools and equipment is incredibly convenient since it allows you to get what you need without having to commit to owning it forever. All you have to do is contact your chosen tool hire company, tell them what kind of tools or equipment you need, and arrange for delivery. Depending on their availability, they may even be able to deliver the same day! This means that your project can start immediately—and who doesn’t love that?

Cost Saving

Hiring tools and equipment is often far cheaper than buying brand-new items outright. Because tool hire companies own multiple pieces of the same item, they usually offer discounted rates compared with retail prices. This makes hiring tools an ideal option if you don't want to spend a lot of money on something that may become redundant after a short amount of time. Plus, when you return the item after use, there are no additional costs associated with it—you simply hand it back!

When hiring from a reputable tool hire company like GR8 Tool Hire, customers will benefit from expert advice tailored specifically to their needs. Our team has extensive knowledge about all kinds of tools and machines so we can provide advice on which models are best suited for each job.

GR8 Tool Hire Supports “7 Emirates Run 4 Autism”
GR8 Tool Hire is proud to support the incredible duo behind  @7emiratesrun4autism They’re aiming to raise a staggering £750,000 to create a game-changing app, website, and resources for Autism Awareness.

Their Mission: A Platform for Connection and Support
Their ambitious goal? To run the entire 7 emirates loop – a gruelling 579km in just 10 days! This project aims to create a much-needed online platform for families and the special needs community. This platform will be a safe space for connection, experience sharing, and support, free from judgment and isolation.

Beyond the Run: Our Commitment
The app will also provide valuable resources, including best practices on education tools, therapies, and nutrition, to empower families living with autism. In addition to supporting the runners, we at GR8 Tool Hire are dedicated to raising awareness. Several team members are participating in “Movember” for the cause, and we’ve donated an iPad and AirPods to be raffled off.
Together, We Can Make a Difference

We’ve already reached a fantastic £3,000 mark in donations, and we’re committed to hosting more fundraising events. Autism is a complex condition that affects people in many ways. However, a lack of understanding and general awareness still exists.

Join the Movement: Learn More and Donate
We encourage you to visit link to the “7 Emirates Run 4 Autism” GoFundMe page and learn more about these inspiring individuals taking on a monumental challenge – running the equivalent of 1.5 marathons per day, for 10 days, in the desert!

Building a Brighter Future for Autism
Many autistic children and their families struggle to find opportunities for connection and acceptance. We aim to change that. The funds raised will create an online platform specifically designed for autistic individuals and their families to connect, share experiences, and build a supportive community. We believe in fostering greater understanding – not just within the special needs community, but across society as a whole.
INTERNATIONAL MENS DAY 

At GR8 today we are celebrating all positive male role models out and the impact you have on family, friends and coworkers.

International Men’s Day celebrates the positive impact men have on society while emphasizing their well-being. It provides a platform to discuss critical issues like mental health, challenge stereotypes, and promote gender equality. By highlighting the importance of positive male role models and addressing societal pressures, the day encourages open dialogue and fosters support systems for men. Its ultimate goal is to create a more inclusive and compassionate world that values everyone’s contributions and happiness.
