ATP Access Hire

ATP Access Hire was founded in 1994 by Simon Richards and became a limited company in 1997. The legal entity is ATP Access Platforms Ltd. Matt Duxbury joined the business in 2018 and is Operations Director. Anne Grange is Accounts & Credit Control and has over 11 years of service. Andy Allen is Engineering Manager and has worked for ATP for 4 years; he gained full CAP Qualifications within the Powered Access Industry.

ATP has been supplying access platforms for rental nationwide for over 25 years. ATP hires scissor lifts, boom lifts and specialist equipment. ATP provides operator training on-site or at its Peterborough facility. ATP provides a free local site survey before hire. ATP can supply access platform hire across the UK. All machines are checked before each hire, serviced regularly and delivered with current LOLER certification.

Peterborough customers who hire powered access platforms from this provider describe a service where the experience varies considerably. Praise centres on the people, with one reviewer naming John as the person who resolves issues, and others highlighting helpful staff, professional employees and experienced engineers. The breadth of machinery available and the standard of driving are also noted approvingly. Alongside these positive accounts, a recurring theme is how difficulties are handled.

A local charity that booked a platform found it would not pass through a doorway, and when a smaller alternative was sought, an additional charge was requested, leaving the organisation with a bill for equipment it had not used. Another account describes payment being taken before delivery, with no platform subsequently arriving, and the service being called unreliable. Rudeness and a lack of customer care feature in further comments, with one reviewer stating they would not recommend the firm. The helpfulness of particular members of staff and the range of machines contrast with these reports of unmet expectations and billing disputes.
