“JCB telehandlers are the best in the business, so we knew the 360 degree models would be first class too. That is proving to be the case with regular repeat business from customers due to their performance and reliability. Initially purchased for our clients in the TV and film industries, our industrial customers have learned about this investment and are now requesting to hire these fantastic products too.”

Some people love to put a negative spin on things don’t they?
Congratulations to The Team at Advanced Access for your continued growth. Both JCB and Greenshields thank you for your business.

British built?
I agree with the comments below BUT does no one understand that the JCB access machines are built in India and not the UK? It could be that they have less British content than some French or American machines!!

I am as patriotic as they come but let's not go overboard here: JCB's Electric Scissors are made in India...

All the "buying british" rhetoric is funny. You all know that those scissor-lifts are built in China, and not even by JCB themselves right ? I'm all for home built product, but the bulk of this order wasn't that.

It's fantastic to see a British company investing in homegrown products. Buying British manufactured goods not only supports local businesses but also strengthens the national economy. By choosing to purchase goods made in the UK, companies contribute to job creation, promote sustainable growth, and improve overall prosperity within the country. Furthermore, buying British often ensures higher quality products, as they adhere to stringent standards and regulations. It's a win-win situation that boosts the local industry while delivering top-notch goods.
By sourcing products locally, companies can minimise the environmental impact associated with long-distance transportation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, British manufacturers are increasingly adopting sustainable practices, such as using renewable energy sources and implementing eco-friendly production techniques. By supporting these environmentally conscious businesses, companies can contribute to the collective effort of reducing carbon emissions and promoting a greener future. So, kudos to Advanced Access for making a positive impact by prioritising British manufactured goods and reducing their carbon footprint in the process.
