Watkins' National Accounts Success Sets The Trend For Next 150 Years

Watkins Hire News >> 

Watkins Hire, is celebrating both its 'Sesquicentennial' (our 150th Anniversary!) and adding the 12th national accounts customer to its enviable client list – only some six months after establishing its National Accounts Division.

National Accounts Director, Nick Campey and Terry Stevens-Smith, National Accounts Manager established the National Accounts Division at Watkins Hire after moving to the company from a rival HVAC hire firm. 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.

Tom Gleeson, operations director of 'Managed Services' at Speedy said: “We were looking for a heating and cooling partner that had the experience and capability to support our customers operating on major industrial sized sites.

“Watkins Hire boosts Speedy's existing range of heating and cooling products to offer our customers a huge range of new and well maintained specialist HVAC equipment which is available for a wide spectrum of applications, serving everything from offices through to petrochemical sites.”

Watkins has leveraged the company's 150 years' experience and the expertise of its National Accounts team to achieve such rapid growth in its National Accounts Division and the company is now gearing up for further expansion.

We are continuously investing in new kit and adding the most technically advanced temporary heating and cooling solutions to our fleet. As a specialist we

The hire sector is awash with companies claiming to be the biggest, most successful or fastest growing...... but only one can claim to be 150 years old: Watkins Hire celebrates its 150th anniversary this year.

Founded in 1860, the year that Abraham Lincoln became President of the USA and Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville made the world's first ever sound recording, Watkins remains an independent family-owned business today. Originally established as an iron ore mining company, the firm originated the concept of steam and heating boiler hire and rented mobile steam boilers to the British military during both World War I and World War II. These days, Watkins Hire combines that heritage with a dynamic approach to remaining at the vanguard of the sector an now boasts a 7,000-strong fleet that encompasses every aspect of heating and cooling hire, from the heaviest steam boilers to the most portable and compact cooling units.

Comments managing director, Mark Hills: "Watkins has been an innovator throughout its 150-year h istory and we continue to drive innovation today, introducing groundbreaking developments, such as our GSM telemetry fuel management, fault reporting and temperature monitoring systems, to ensure we provide our customers with great service and reliable, technically advanced equipment. The world has changed dramatically since Watkins was first established 150 years ago but the company's values, emphasis on service and forward-thinking culture remain unchanged and we're looking forward to celebrating further milestones in the years to come."

Watkins Hire has grown significantly over the past 12 years, extending the fleet from just 70 to well over 7,000 pieces of equipment and keeping pace with new technology to ensure that it can offer the most energy efficient and effective equipment

Natural Ventilation Solutions

The Natural Ventilation Solution The fundamental difference between more commonly used mechanical ventilation and natural ventilation is the use of encapsulated wind power to fully ventilate the building. Our system works on the basis of natural fresh air entering the building through various wall mounted units with modulating control dampers. The air passes throughout the building via a series of grilles and dampers allowing for a controlled environment purely using fresh air eliminating the need for a costly mechanical arrangement. The stale air leaves the building via several roof turrets.
