Our Values

Family Values - From beginning in a small yard in Farnborough with only a handful of machines the company has grown to operating from 10 depots with over 15,000 pieces of plant machinery and tools. Our early reputation and values still hold true today.

Trust - You need a supplier that is reliable and provides the correct, working equipment, on time. If things don’t go to plan, you need to know you can pick up the phone and your supplier will get it sorted. That’s the trust our customers place in FTH.

Helpful staff - In every Hire Hub you will find staff with a smile ready to offer our advice on the best equipment for your job. If we don’t have an item you need, we’ll happily source it for you.

Hire specialists - Hire is not an ancillary part of our business - Plant, Tool, Access, Landscaping and Survey hire is our business. While some outlets offer this in addition to other services, we have 19 focused Hire Hubs across the South East and Scotland.

Integrity - All of our staff act with integrity and accountability, a policy that has underpinned the growth of our business and built a loyal customer base.

Reliability - Our plant fleet is replaced every 18 - 24 months, ensuring customers are always hiring machines that are reliable. We have invested over £33 million during the past 3 years on new equipment.

Excellence - In everything we do. We don’t just want to be a supplier of hired equipment, but a partner that understands the challenges our customers face and actively contribute to the effectiveness of the job in hand.




Quality Used Plant and Machinery

There are many benefits to hiring equipment rather than owning, however we recognise that in some cases our customers are seeking to purchase their own machines.
