AER Rents, one of the UK and Ireland’s leading specialist hire and sales groups welcomed over 50 customers, trade professionals and media guests yesterday at its NEW and groundbreaking multi-brand depot in Newcastle for a special Open Day event showcasing the Group’s industry-leading equipment, people and service capability.

Visitors had the opportunity to explore the full range of plant & attachments, tools, accommodation, welfare and lifting solutions offered by Chippindale Hire & Sales, Welfare 4 Hire and Hudson Lifting – all operating together in one location at the Group’s first shared depot in the region.

From towable welfare units and toilet servicing vehicles to lifting equipment, site cabins and new-generation plant machinery, a wide selection of new and staple products was on display. Live demonstrations and hands-on experiences allowed guests see first-hand the latest innovations and technologies.

Experts from all three businesses were available throughout the day, offering practical advice and product insights, while exclusive Open Day offers made it a rewarding event for customers, both old and new. The event also served as a valuable opportunity to strengthen relationships, introduce key personnel and outline the Group’s long-term commitment to regional growth.

Gavin Pitt, CEO of AER Rents, commented:

“Today’s Open Day shows the strength of collaboration within the Group. This depot is more than just a new location, it’s a reflection of how we are doing something different. It demonstrates how we are bringing together specialist expertise and local service to support customers more effectively across the region.”

Managing Directors of Chippindale Hire & Sales, Welfare 4 Hire and Hudson Lifting were all in attendance, underlining the strategic importance of the Newcastle site and highlighting the Group’s unified approach to growth.

As AER Rents continues to build its footprint and capabilities across the UK and Ireland, events like this reinforce its commitment to customer service, product quality and innovation in the hire and sales sector.
