With a 25-year track record in National Accounts. The strategic move has paid off, with the new division now turning over more than £1million across its dozen national accounts clients under contract across the construction, facilities management, M&E, HVAC and plant hire sectors.
One of the latest national account clients is Speedy and Watkins Hire has secured a sole supplier agreement to act as a strategic partner, providing additional Specialist HVAC Hire equipment to complement Speedy's own range.
