Introduction to Speedy…
We may have started small but we’ve always had big ideas. Since Speedy was established in 1977 we have grown into the UK’s leading hire business. Along the way we’ve won countless awards for innovation, safety and our commitment to training to name but a few. Our people are the heart of our business and it’s their commitment and professionalism that makes us the biggest and the best in the industry.
On a day-to-day basis, you can expect to be working independently or directly with one or two other colleagues in the branch, performing basic electrical and functionality testing as well as servicing and cleaning products that return from hire to ensure they’re safe and presentable, ready for the next customer to take away.
