At Alliance Tool Hire, we’re proud to play a part in helping contractors deliver safe, efficient and well-equipped school construction projects across the south of England and Wales.
We’re celebrating a major milestone in the education sector, having now supplied our 50,000th product to more than 1,500 school site projects. These figures have been reached through over 5,000 individual hire contracts, supporting 400 trade customers working across new-build, refurbishment and maintenance programmes.
Over the last five years, our work in the education sector has grown by 30% per year, reflecting the increasing demand for reliable, responsive hire support on time-critical school projects.
Supporting School Projects Across the South
From large-scale new-build campuses to summer refurbishment programmes, school sites require careful planning, dependable equipment and fast turnaround times. Many projects take place during the school holidays, when deadlines are tight and work must be completed safely before pupils return in September.
Across these projects, our most frequently hired equipment categories include scaffold towers, podiums, fencing, breaking and demolition equipment, including breakers, reciprocating saws and disc cutters.
We’ve supported projects at schools including Paddock School in Tooting, South West London, The Hawthorns School and Nursery in Bletchingley, Surrey, Canford School in Wimborne Minster, Dorset, and New Barn School in Welford, Berkshire.
Proud to Support Contractors in Education
“Supporting more than 1,500 school sites with over 50,000 products is two milestones we’re incredibly proud of,” said Beth Peters, CEO of Alliance Tool Hire.
“From new-build campuses to refurbishment programmes, we’ve partnered with contractors to ensure they have access to the equipment they need to keep projects operating safely and on schedule, primarily over the summer months when September deadlines must be met.
“The education sector remains a key area of growth for Alliance Tool Hire. Achieving 30% year-on-year growth over the last five years reflects our commitment to service, availability and customer support, helping us earn top marks from trade customers across the south of the country.”
