HSS made a stock exchange announcement earlier this month confirming its largest customer Amey had decided to switch suppliers after nine years.

Under the new deal Speedy will provide non-operated plant hire to Amey’s operations on a range of sector contracts including rail, highways and public estates.

A significant proportion of kit will consist of eco-products including H-Power Generators from Speedy Hydrogen Solutions and battery storage units from Green Power Hire.

The new contract will mobilise during the second half of this year following a transition period.

Dan Evans, Chief Executive, Speedy Hire, said: “We are delighted to commence our relationship with Amey, by securing this new contract which is testament to our leadership position in our sector, along with our ability to service major customers with commercially sustainable products and services.”

John Faulkner, Chief Operating Officer, Amey, added: “We are delighted to enter a new partnership with Speedy Hire as a trusted provider of the sustainable products and services we require that play an important part in meeting our sustainability targets.

“This new contract signifies a strategic alliance between Amey and Speedy Hire in our common goals to play a critical role in protecting the natural environment while accelerating the UK’s transition to Net Zero.”
