Amco-Giffen - Project Manager

One of the best plant hire companies to deal with, they are honest from the word go, telling you when they can get you whatever machine it is to you and what time it will be there, drivers always call to ensure correct location and give exact time.

They have a massive variety, and their kit is all good condition if not new, any issues are sorted ASAP with direct contact to service manager, then the fitters call to get exact location (we are in the middle of nowhere normally).

Not the first time I have called on a afternoon needing something the next day and it is there the next morning first thing. I would recommend Blackwood to anyone as in 7+ years of ordering kit l’ve never had an issue. No matter time of day or night”.
