HSS Hire Opens New Supercentre Of The Year

HSS Hire, the UK's award-winning tool and equipment hire company, has opened a new Supercentre in Oxford. The official opening was presided over by Catherine Stratton, author of the renowned Plant Hire Investment Report.

The new branch opens only a few weeks after the new Brighton Supercentre opened its doors and just months after HSS launched a number of new Supercentres in Camberley, Liverpool and Leeds in the latter part of 2009.

Chris Davies, CEO at HSS Hire said: "We've basically been investing in a series of new branches and Supercentres at strategic locations throughout the country in order to complement our nationwide presence and consolidate a spine of logistical capability throughout the country. Despite the difficult economic conditions of 2009 we felt it was important to keep investing in our branch network, opening 12 new locations in as many months, and we’re now carrying that momentum into 2010. We’re very focused on being accessible to our customers and making it easy for them to work with us.

"The new supercentre will help us to deliver an improved scale and scope of service for customers in the heart of the country. It offers much more floor space, allowing for an extended product range including specialised Powered Access and Lift & Shift equipment and has increased parking in a much better location."

The new Oxford Supercentre will be open from 7.30am – 5.30pm on weekdays and 8am - 1pm Saturdays. The new centre is located at Oxford Business Park North, Sir Alec Issigonis Way, Oxford OX4 2JZ. Phone: 01865 205 055. Visit: www.hss.com or visit the branch for more details.
