Iaps managing director Steve Couling said: “We were delighted to once again host the Access Alliance. It was great to see how both organisations have gone from strength to strength since they last visited us.”

The Access Alliance was formed in 2010 to allow regional rental companies to provide a national UK-wide service to their customers. The group now has a combined fleet of more than 8,000 aerial work platforms.
