CEO Paul Gaze and marketing project lead Stuart Tyrrell collected the Gold for Best Covid Response award at the Copthorne Tara Hotel in Kensington on behalf of the organisation for members who hire or manufacture plant, tools and event equipment. HAE EHA was on the front foot from the start of the first lockdown of the pandemic, creating a Covid-19 Response Team and becoming the go-to place for information, guidance and news, with numerous resources to help hire companies both small and large to understand what was happening, how it affected them, and where they could turn to for help. w | www.hae.org.uk “Business, as we all recover from the Covid chaos, is difficult.” says Brendan Beaver, UK manager of METREL, the innovative electrical solutions provider. “Planning work is more a lottery than ever, while supplies and deliveries cannot be reliably scheduled apparently due to the aftermath of Covid, the lack of drivers and for some, a fire at a key supplier.” “It is even harder when the company is going through the unprecedented growth we are experiencing. But excuses are no use to customers who need their new test equipment now to earn their bread. Fortunately Metrel stocks are good, our channels are well primed, and we can fulfil your needs today.” t | 01924 245000 e | brendan.beaver@metrel.co.uk w | www.metrel.co.uk By Karl Lycett – Rittal UK climate control product manager.
