London 2012

We’re sure you’re already aware of numerous routes around Olympic venues that will be closed or have temporary restrictions and diversions in operation during the games, and that these will also then have a knock-on effect on surrounding roads and transport links. This disruption will impact all businesses where deliveries, collections and movement across the capital are vital and A-Plant is no different. Therefore to try to ease any disruptions we have provided the following information on the services we offer.

 

What can you do to help us?

Plan Ahead – In order to minimise any disruption to your day-to-day business activities we strongly recommend that you plan your hire requirements well in advance of normal.

Contact Us Early – Contact us at the earliest opportunity about your hire needs so we can work together to schedule in and ensure you receive the equipment for when you need it.

Be Flexible – Consider the time you really need the equipment – are you able to take delivery of equipment during non-peak times? For example between 11:00 – 15:00 when the roads will be less congested.

Keep us up-to-date – If your hire requirements change let us know as soon as possible to give us as much time as possible to adapt accordingly.
