Our team of volunteers were delighted to support our customer NG Bailey and Manchester City Council at Philips Park in Manchester for ‘The Big Beswick Volunteer Day’.

This beautiful and historic park, nestled away between the Co-op Live Arena, Manchester City Football Club’s Etihad Stadium and the National Cycling Centre was one of the very first three UK public parks, and is fast approaching its 180th anniversary.

With that in mind, we were delighted to help tidy up and clear away some weeds, as well as paint and restore a number of park benches to help Park Ranger Jackie with her anniversary plans! We were also delighted to film and produce a case study video to raise awareness and document the amazing work that was done on the day!

Despite our best efforts we had great difficulty sourcing the correct MEWPs for work at one of our facilities, following a site visit Hire Safe Solutions organised a WT1000 with a spectacular working height of 103.5 meters, the contract was carried out in a professional and site appropriate manner.

I would like to thank Gerard and his team for their efforts.

We’ve had an excellent experience working with Hire Safe Solutions. From the very first contact, their team has been responsive, reliable, and incredibly efficient. Julie Barnes in particular has been a logistical wizard — friendly, proactive, and always one step ahead in coordinating everything we needed on site.

The equipment arrived on time and in top condition, and the whole process was smooth and hassle-free. It’s rare to find a company that combines professionalism with such a human touch. Highly recommended for any project involving access or height-related equipment.

Thank you, Julie and team!
