Light Hire Ltd, an approved IPAF and PASMA training centre in Exeter and Barnstaple which trains people in the safe use of mobile elevating platforms and erection of aluminium towers are investing in training for internal staff in addition to instructing their wide range of clients.

Paul Roddis, Light Hire’s Training Manager is ensuring that both current and new staff have the skills and knowledge to remain at the cutting edge of the access platform industry.  Clive Wotton, the Barnstaple Depot Manager and Graham Sandford, a Technician in Exeter both recently achieved success at a mechanical and electrical course for powered scissor lifts and hand held analysers at JLG UK in Manchester whilst Graham has also studied hydraulic and electrical schematics for boom lifts at the Genie European Headquarters in Lincolnshire.

As Paul comments ‘it is vital to ensure that our staff receive training in order to keep them fully aware of latest developments in our fast moving industry.  Light Hire is determined to continue to invest in the personal development of all our staff in order to ensure that the equipment we supply is maintained and delivered to the highest possible standards.’

The top quality of equipment, training and service at Light Hire was also realised with the recent IPAF Rental + accreditation and the ongoing development of the company has been demonstrated through the rapid expansion of the fleet, the growth of the training programme – now covering powered access, aluminium scaffold erection and inspection, manual handling and the fitting of abrasive wheels plus the recent addition of new offices in the region.
