FM
How HSS Can Help

Facilities Managers work under incredible pressure these days. The job - which has always been to provide crucial support for organisational success – just seems to grow as demands and expectations mount.

So who does the FM turn to for ready access to quality tools, plant and equipment – especially if the requirement is only periodic, for a specific term or for special applications? HSS, of course.

We’re here to help. We understand that Facilities Managers are looking for opportunities to maximise the value of their own resources while minimising new investment and risk. This is where the concept of hiring, rather than buying, can offer big benefits. In fact, hiring is very often the best ‘buying’ decision.

A better buying decision
Outsourcing the provision of tools and equipment delivers a whole series of benefits:

• Operational cost savings
• Transfer of risk
• Access to specialist product knowledge, expertise and training
• Assurance of compliance with health & safety regulations
• One point of contact and control
• Single invoicing and management reporting for all hire needs

And, partnering with a hire specialist means no need to buy and no need to find the space to store things you only require occasionally.

Whatever your needs, HSS can tailor a service to meet them. And you can be confident you have a business partner who shares your commitment to minimising unnecessary cost and distraction, and maximising your focus on core objectives.

Together, we will keep your business working.
