How long have you been with Sunbelt Rentals?

"I’m Sunbelt Rentals veteran, and have been here for over 9 years! In my time I’ve progressed from a Sales Executive to Sales Manager and now I’m a Regional Account Manager."

And where did you work before?

"I worked in operations for a groundworks company for 5 years before joining Sunbelt."

What was your first ever job?

"Paper and milk! Starting blocks of many a career! I started as a paperboy at the tender age of 8. Then I became a milk boy throughout high school before getting my first fulltime job as a cutter in the textile industry".

How did you get into Plant Sales?

"Having worked with a variety of plant and tools hire companies while in the groundworks sector, I joined Sunbelt Rentals Tool Hire business and went on to build my knowledge of plant and other business units."

What’s been your biggest work challenge to date?

"It has to be the work we do with the events market. We provide the full set-up for large festivals such as “TRNSMT” with a very short turnaround. This usually requires our full range of products and servicing from powered access and lifting all the way to lighting and trackway. The logistics of pulling it all together are huge!"
