It’s been quite a last twelve months at Gee-Force Towers, during which we have enjoyed a record growth in turnover, increased our staff numbers from five to eight and most recently announced new partner arrangements with industry leader HTL for rental equipment and bolting training in Great Yarmouth. So what exactly are these new partner arrangements and what do they mean for our customers?
Ahead of EEEGR’s SNS2015 Sea of Opportunity conference and exhibition last year, we came up with a strapline “The Beach Got Closer” being a reference to our Great Yarmouth location and unique proximity to the southern North Sea service industry. “The Beach” is of course the local vernacular for “onshore” and that Beach, in terms of our offering to the industry, is getting bigger particularly now that we have access to HTL’s extensive fleet of hire equipment.
Next month we move to new, bigger premises on Beacon Park, Great Yarmouth’s newest business park and hub for the energy sector. The premises move and recent partnership with HTL also adds enhanced service, repair and calibration capabilities and will also incorporate a fully equipped dedicated training facility to run ECITB MJI10/18 & 19, MJI 31 & 32 Wind Turbine Bolted Connections training and TMJI testing.
I like that we can add to our existing equipment and service offering by bringing HTL’s extensive hire fleet to our Great Yarmouth location and for all operators and service providers in the region, that Beach really is getting bigger!
