***You’re hiring MORE than just a hoist***

This is Joe Donnelly and Andy Jack, two of our longest serving and most experienced employees. They won’t like that I’m highlighting them on here, but this is definitely a case of ‘credit where credit’s due’.

They were presented with a real challenge on a current project that required thinking outside the box to make the install work … on their own initiative, and pulling from their vast experience, submitted a bespoke hoist tie to our independent hoist design engineers (Orbit Hoist Design Ltd) who gave it the thumbs up.

With Scot Hoist Ltd you don’t just hire our equipment - you hire our experience, our expertise, and most of all our people, the best in the indusrty.

Well done Joe and Andy, we’re very proud of you.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month

The last 12 months have been very challenging for everyone, but those suffering from poor mental health have found it particularly difficult dealing with the extreme worry, anxiety and stress that the restrictions have brought upon us.

The construction industry has seen a marked increase in those seeking help and support from the many MH groups and charities that do invaluable work in the communities, and at a time when these groups are finding it very difficult to raise much needed funds through their normal campaigns and funding avenues, we at Scot Hoist thought it would be great to try to help a little with that.

So, thanks to the wonderful support and generosity of our families, friends, clients, and suppliers (together with revenue generated from ‘The Green Machine’ hoist pictured below) we have managed to raise £2500 to help one of these very worthy causes continue their great work.

Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity is the only charity that provides UK wide emotional, physical and financial wellbeing support to construction workers and their families who are facing tough and challenging times, and the last 12 months has meant that this support has never been in more need.

Having the right people in place to look after the operational side of the business is crucial to supporting the guys in the field, and we are delighted to welcome Scott Steele to his new position as Hire Desk Controller.

Scott has spent the last 5 years on the tools learning the tough side of the industry, so his knowledge and experience will be a big advantage in his new position - he’ll be mentored and supported by our Hire Manager, Chris O’Kane, who has been with us since our first day 17 years ago.

It’s an exciting time for Scot Hoist, and we’re looking forward to seeing Scott develop in his new role.

The last 12 months has been a challenging time for everyone, and it’s made many employers realise that having the right people around you is what makes the difference.

The strength of Scot Hoist has always been in its people (it’s one thing having the right equipment, it’s a very different thing having the knowledge, experience and commitment to install it to the high standards expected from our clients) and we’re delighted to have been able to add to our team over the last few months by bringing onboard Joe, Mark and Tony as NVQ Level 2 Trainee Hoist Installers (a CITB assessment that takes up to 5 years to complete)

The lads have already settled in well and are taking full advantage of learning from some of the best and most experienced people in the industry.

We’re delighted to welcome them to Scot Hoist

Outstanding effort by our lads today!

It makes me very proud to know that we have some of the finest installers and engineers the hoist industry has to offer.

Anyone can buy the equipment ... but it’s having the people to install it professionally and safely that makes you stand out. That’s what the client buys - commitment, knowledge, and experience.

Knowledge is power

We’ve had an unwritten rule in Scot Hoist for 17 years that the lads don’t work weekends (that’s their time time relax and forget about work) ... but there’s times when the client needs us to help them out, so we do what we can to make that happen.

Here’s David McCutcheon (Snr Enginner) and Joe Donnely (Supervisor) putting in a shift to make sure our client has what they need for their Monday morning deadline.

Well done lads!! 👏👏👏
