Welcome to our May newsletter !

It seems the sunshine is finally with us and we hear from many that your order books are filling up which is great news considering the lull most have been experiencing.  On this note we’ve had a warning from the timber importers that prices are rising sharply (see News section of our website—post of 20 April 2010) so please talk to us when pricing.

We’re delighted to release our new Hire Price List 2010.  We intend to go to print with this new list approximately ever 6 months as we add more and more lines to our fleet.  We have invested heavily in new machinery and are constantly adding new products…so remember when you need to hire something, give Kev a call on  01305 812016 !

Also released this month is our brand new For the Garden 2010 brochure.  This years book is packed with all the usual plus loads of new products—new garden furniture range, compost & bark to name a few !
