Ever heard the HSS story? It began in 1957 when Bert Taylor lent his sister a ladder and decided it could be a great opportun ... ity. Seems he was right. The business grew and grew, from one shop in Kensington to expansion throughout the UK. Over 50 years later, HSS backs up its core tool and equipment hire solutions with over 230 industry recognised training courses that are delivered to thousands of individuals and organisations throughout the UK and Ireland from 35 fully equipped Centres of Excellence. We cover everything from Workplace Safety, Working at Height, Health & Safety, Rail, Passport Schemes, Professional Development and E-Learning, and we’re accredited with OHSAS18001, Safe-HIRE and ISO9000 certification. We’re not just the UK’s original tool and equipment hire company - we’ve so much more, and we want you to be part of our brilliant story, too. Our business is grounded on four key principles – Safety, Value, Availability, and Support. These principles are what drive our people - our HSSers, as we call them. While we’re committed to customer service, we’re proud to believe that our people are just as important. That’s why, since day one, we’ve made sure we recruited the right people into our training business. We all have everything we need to do our jobs successfully, confidently and safely. Our comprehensive training promotes smarter working and longer-lasting careers Our generous benefits programme includes life assurance and healthcare for all HSSers, and free hire on all of our core range of products. And those who achieve 5 years of continuous service can look forward to a long service cash reward that grows with every consecutive 5 years from then on. But being part of the story means living and breathing a unique mix of can-do attitude, skills, values and ambitions. It’s the best of who we are and it’s what sets us apart from others in the industry. It’s called HSSness... and if you’ve got it, we’d love to hear from you. read more
