Travis Perkins extends hire offer

Builders’ merchant Travis Perkins has expanded its plant, tools, skips and equipment hire offering, via a new ‘pay-as-you-go’ service.

Pay as you go Hire sees customers without a Travis Perkins trade account able to hire all tools, machinery, plant and site equipment for their vital trade and construction needs for the first time. They simply need to provide two forms of identification – a photo ID, such as a driving licence or a passport  – and a utility bill or bank statement from within the last three months with a valid UK address on it.

There are more than 300 TP Hire branches across the UK, all of which are situated within Travis Perkins branches.

The company has already trialled the service in in several branches, including Glasgow, Stroud, London and Birmingham.

TP Hire managing director Ian Sharman-Jones, says: “We have been working on this exciting development for some time and it’s fantastic we are now ready to roll it out to customers nationwide. For those customers who currently don’t have a Travis Perkins account, this is game-changing and means that all customers will now have full and complete access to our entire Hire product range.

“This is just the start of the plans we have to support our customers’ needs nationwide, with more exciting developments and improvements to the ways we operate and the methods in which our customers can trade with us in the future.”

Travis Perkins Hire has thousands of products available for trade and construction customers to source the right solution for every job, no matter how large or small.
