Hire a pole?
« on: January 20, 2007, 10:24:47 pm »
I wish some of the big suppliers would hire out big poles.

Ther are a few jobs that I could do with a 56fter but cant really afford one just now.

It would be nice to have the potion to hire one and that would give you the chance to save up and buy one.

Even if the charge was £100-£200 per day thats nothing if the job you are doing is £500 +.

I was looking into hiring a pole not too long ago.  Saving up now to buy one.

If you're pulling in £500, why not buy the pole you're after on plastic and pay it off within six months? The interest will go against the business as an expense anyway.

That'll be more than a fiver, thanks.

we hire out poles - no sorry, we lend them out.  As a supplier I feel its important to try and give something back to my best customers.

For some of our regular customers we have loaned out a Super-Lite on a 'Sale or Return' basis, so they could see if it suited their work. Funnily enough they always end up keeping the pole!
