urchased new scissor lifts, boom lifts and track chippers, and added 8 tonne diggers to our fleet.

Hard at work all week, resting on Sundays…just like the rest of us. 😄

Even our excavator knows how to take it easy at the weekend! Spotted by one of our team on their Sunday morning stroll through Theale High Street, sitting quietly and soaking it all in ready to start again on the Monday. Nearly there!

"These are, without question, some of the easiest people to deal with."

We don't take words like that lightly.

When you're juggling a busy project, the last thing you need is a supplier who's slow to respond, vague on details, or makes you feel like just another order number. The admin, the chasing, the back and forth…it all adds up!

At FTH Hire Group, we try to make that part simple. Quick, clear communication. Honest answers. No surprises. So our customers can focus on delivering great work, not managing their hire supplier.

When it works the way it should, it stops feeling like a transaction and starts feeling like a proper working partnership.

Thanks for the kind words. This is exactly what we're here for. 🙏

Spotted on the course this week…a good reminder of what we're all about, and we don’t mean the golf 😉

We've always believed the best working relationships are built over time. Not just supplying kit and moving on, but sticking around, continually investing in people, infrastructure and equipment, solving problems and helping our customers deliver projects they're proud of.

That's the kind of hire supply partnership we're here to build.

Where it all started, 45 years ago…

Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer got married, the inaugural London Marathon wound through London's streets, and the UK won Eurovision (yes, it really did happen!) with Bucks Fizz and "Making Your Mind Up".

It was also the year Farnborough Tool Hire had its own moment. In 1981 the company was born out of a garden shed in Farnborough - modest beginnings, but with a clear focus on service, reliability and a great range of tools. Word spread quickly and a strong local reputation followed.

The first big move came a decade later, when the famous corner shop on Mychett Road opened its doors and the range began to grow.

Then came the first excavators, yard space in Ash Vale, bigger lorries, bigger ambitions and in June 2005, a move to Impression House on Invincible Road, which remains our headquarters to this day.

45 years on, we've grown considerably. New locations, new capabilities, new faces. But the roots are the same…a business built in Farnborough, for the trades, on the simple belief that quality equipment and genuine service matter.
