Pirtek goes above and beyond
They say the British are obsessed with the weather. It’s our default conversation opener. Well in the first half of 2018, we could perhaps be forgiven for talking about it. The ‘beast from the east’ bathed the UK with snow and bitter easterly winds in February. The icy conditions affected the whole country but those in the countryside were hit hardest. Nevertheless, Pirtek’s commitment to the whole country remained. Pirtek can be relied upon to get things done. Nowhere is this more relevant than in Scotland, where Pirtek is the only company in the hydraulic hose business that can truly claim national coverage. We have details of jobs covered in Scotland on pages 38 to 41. At the time of writing, the country is basking in a heatwave, as well as World Cup fever – though there is no guarantee that the optimistic mood will endure on either front.
‘Whatever the weather, Pirtek’s commitment remains’
What does endure in Pirtek’s 30th year in the UK is its commitment to customer service and innovation. On pages six to nine, we celebrate the 30th anniversary conference and awards, recognising outstanding franchises and individuals. Continuing from the last edition’s story
about Total Hydraulic Management at Pirtek Tyne and Wear, this quarter we feature Pirtek Birmingham, where the centre has been working on hydraulic systems for a number of years. Tottenham Hotspurs’ ground-breaking (literally) new stadium, serviced by Pirtek Leyton, is featured on pages 22 to 23 and Pirtek Luton is a sponsor at the Kenilworth Road ground of newly promoted Luton Town. Pirtek is not just a hose maintenance company. Also in its repertoire is design and build of hydraulic
systems in sensitive, high tolerance machines. Pirtek Plymouth shows off its skills on pages 24 to 29. After 30 successful years of Pirtek UK and several weeks of good weather, all I can say is, long may it continue. c
