ADDED VALUE – CUSTOMER HIRE PROTECTION SCHEME<br />
The Largest Independent Tool, Equipment & Access Rental <strong>Company</strong> in the North West<br />
Many clients are not often fully aware of their responsibility in<br />
respect of the equipment they hire & the cost implications this can<br />
lead to until an unfortunate event such as a theft or accidental<br />
damage occurs.<br />
We feel it is our duty to ensure clients understand fully the responsibility placed on<br />
them & also offer cost effective solutions to those areas they may not have<br />
covered.<br />
At One Stop Hire Ltd we operate to the Hire Association Europe (HAE) standard terms of business which is the<br />
benchmark trading association in our field & a copy can be found on our website, in any branch & on the<br />
reverse of all our hire documentation. Sections 4.1 & 8 of the HAE model terms & conditions require the<br />
customer to be fully responsible for any loss or damage to Hired in Equipment whilst it is in their possession.<br />
Many commercial & household insurance policies have inadequate, no cover at all or very high excess limits for<br />
Hired in Equipment & we urge our clients to check this out with their insurer prior to hiring. For those who<br />
have insufficient or no cover we can offer the below waivers at a very competitive premium to give the client a<br />
large degree of flexible protection to suit their business requirement.<br />
1.Damage Protection<br />
2.Theft Protection<br />
3.Combined Protection<br />
a)Damage Waiver – For a premium of 9.5% of the invoiced hire value we will cover the first £300.00 of any<br />
accidental damage to our equipment whilst on hire.<br />
b)Theft Cover – For a premium of 12% of the invoiced hire value we will cover up to £15,000.00 in one<br />
occurrence of any theft of our equipment. This is subject to a police crime reference & claim form being<br />
completed.<br />
c)We will offer both Damage & Theft Waiver for a premium of 16% of the invoiced hire value.<br />
Note – NO Excess applies to the above waivers in sections a,b, or c.<br />

IN THE NEWS – ONE STOP HIRE INVEST IN POWER TOWER<br />
One Stop Hire has recently added 17 Power Tower, Nano &<br />
NanoSP<br />
One Stop Hire Ltd has just added 17<br />
Power Tower, Nano & NanoSP machines<br />
to its fast growing battery powered<br />
access fleet. Access products in general<br />
are our fastest growing product lines<br />
& this sits perfect in our strategy to deal<br />
with more “inside” trades, stated<br />
MD Steve Hitchen.<br />
We chose Power Tower for the following<br />
reasons:<br />
1. Availability<br />
2. Customer Demand<br />
3. Price competitiveness<br />
4. Ease of doing business<br />
The whole team at Power Tower have<br />
done us proud & without their swift &<br />
flexible approach we would have lost a major hire opportunity & I cannot thank them enough.<br />
www.onestophire.com<br />
Since acquiring PSL & SJS Hire in Oct 2009 we have built the access fleet up to 70 machines now from<br />
a lowly beginning of 2 which unbelievably never went out hardly for PSL & one manager at the time<br />
commented that it would be best to sell them!! We estimate that on current customer demand & with<br />
the M&E customer base still growing we will hit 100 machines in the springtime.

IN THE NEWS – WORKING WELL TOGETHER PRESS RELEASE<br />
On the 14 th November 2012, the newly formed Lancashire Working<br />
Well Together Group held its first Safety & Health Awareness Day at<br />
the Park Hall Hotel in Charnock Richard near Chorley. WWT is a HSE<br />
backed initiative which promotes Health & Safety to SME contractors<br />
in 17 regions across the country.<br />
Steve Hitchen MD of One Stop Hire<br />
commented:<br />
www.onestophire.com<br />
One of the main topics was working at low heights & One Stop<br />
Hire was invited by the group to display & demonstrate its range<br />
of alloy & battery operated access products to the 300 plus<br />
delegates. One Stop Hire has invested heavily in these products<br />
this year & has seen massive growth in this sector.<br />
Items highlighted were;<br />
• Turner Access Betaguard® Alloy Tower system.<br />
• Power Tower Nano – NanoSP & Power Tower models<br />
• Youngman Boss Minimax Tower & Minit Adjustable Podiums<br />
One stop Hire was also supported by Hilti who displayed some of<br />
their new cordless tools & products.<br />
“The WWT working group is a perfect forum for our business, it is a regional<br />
organisation targeting SME contractors which is what we are all about & to get 300<br />
potential customers coming to see you & your products in a day is a massive bonus<br />
& would take the sales team about 12 months to achieve in these times.”<br />
“It is also a great initiative to offer FREE seminars & open days to the smaller<br />
contractors who sometimes struggle with Health & Safety information & new<br />
legislation.”<br />
“We hope to support the Lancashire WWT group further in the future & thank them<br />
for involving us.”
IN THE NEWS – BETAGUARD® – A SAFER WAY TO WORK<br />
The Largest Independent Tool, Equipment & Access Rental <strong>Company</strong> in the North West<br />
HSE Chief Praises MediaCityUK Site Safety<br />
www.onestophire.com<br />
The chair of the government‟s Health and Safety Executive has praised “innovative ways of reducing risk” being used<br />
on the site of MediaCityUK in Salford Quays.<br />
On a visit to the £500m development, Judith Hackitt saw a new guardrail scaffolding system which is put up and<br />
dismantled in a way that virtually eliminates the risk of falls from height. It also uses fewer component parts than<br />
traditional scaffolding, meaning it is less likely to be used with parts missing - often a key factor in accidents.<br />
She was also shown how contractor Bovis Lend Lease uses building “wraps” to prevent materials falling and provide<br />
additional protection for workers.<br />
Hackitt said in a news release: “The scale and scope of this project is<br />
truly impressive and to have had the opportunity to go on site and see<br />
it taking shape is an experience that will stay with me.<br />
“It was encouraging to see such commitment to health and safety and<br />
innovative ways of reducing risk. It is clear that Bovis Lend Lease is<br />
showing leadership in promoting a safety culture and one that involves<br />
workers at every level - something HSE is keen to promote.”<br />
“HSE will never shy away from taking action against those companies<br />
that fail to protect their workers, but our preference is to work with<br />
those who want to develop safer working practices and to encourage<br />
them to share what they do well.”<br />
John Hynd, Bovis Lend Lease project director, said: “We are continuously striving to push the boundaries of making<br />
our sites safer.”
