Two weeks into Warrington, and the kettle has barely had a rest.

We've had customers sitting in for while-you-wait assemblies, vans in and out restocking, and the first OEM orders out the door. Exactly what we opened the place for.

If you haven't been in yet, the offer stands: pop in, have a look around, tell us what you run and what keeps letting you down. Worst case, you leave with a brew and a business card. Best case, you've found your new hose supplier ten minutes up the road.

And keep an eye on this page. The official opening event is coming later in the year, and you're invited.

Nothing beats hearing it from the people who rely on us.

Skip East - Formerly Ely Skip Hire, have been kind enough to put it on camera: why we're their hydraulic breakdown company. Not a one-off callout, a relationship they can count on when a machine goes down. In their words, we don't just turn up, swap a part and disappear. We get them back up and running, and make sure they've got what they need before we leave.

That's what we want from every customer relationship, not just fixing the breakdown in front of us, but being the name they think of every time, because they know what they'll get.

Big thanks to the team at Skip East for taking the time to share this with us.

Want that kind of relationship with your hydraulic breakdown company? 0800 711 7845.

Served in the armed forces? This role was made for you.

Discipline. Calm under pressure. Problem-solving in the field. Working independently and getting the job done without someone looking over your shoulder.

Sound familiar?

Some of our best engineers, and several of our team leaders, came to UK Hose straight from the forces. No hydraulics experience. Just the right mindset and the drive to build something for themselves.

It turns out the skills the military trains into you are exactly what this job demands.

The difference now? They're doing it for themselves. Uncapped bonus, their own van, their own patch, and full BFPA training from day one.

If you've left the forces and want a career that rewards everything the military built in you, but gives you the ownership and autonomy to go with it, we'd love to talk.

No experience needed. Just the right attitude.

"Leave it with us, it'll be ready Thursday." If you've ever dropped off a hose and heard that, you know the maths. A machine sat idle is money going out the door every hour it's not running. ⏲️

At our UK Hose branches, you don't leave it with us. You bring the hose in, grab a seat and a brew, and we build it while you wait. Measured, assembled, crimped and tested by BFPA-certified people, using quality Dunlop Hiflex hose and fittings. Most assemblies are done before you've finished your cuppa. 🍵

Then you're back on site, and the machine is back on.

When we're looking for a new engineer at UK Hose, here's what actually matters to us.

▪️ Takes ownership. When you're on a customer site, you represent UK Hose. You see the job through, you communicate clearly, and you take responsibility for the outcome.
▪️ Calm under pressure. Our business is breakdowns, things move fast. We need people who stay focused when it counts.
▪️ Committed to quality. Whether it's the repair itself, the job log on the app, or the conversation with the customer, standards matter.
▪️ A team player. Even though our engineers work independently on the road, we back each other. You'll both give and receive that support.
▪️ Keen to grow. If you're ambitious, we'll help you get there. That's a promise we keep.

Sound like you? We'd love to talk.

Most of what a branch does, customers never see.

When one of our engineers finishes a heavy week of jobs, their van needs restocking. Our North West vans now stock up minutes from the M6 and M62 – in, loaded, and back out on the road.

That's the bit you don't see. The bit you do see: an engineer who turns up faster, with the right hose and fittings already on the van, and fixes it first visit.

A branch isn't just a counter and a phone number. It's what keeps the response times honest.

Your office is a fully stocked company van and the open road.

At UK Hose, every engineer gets a top of the range vehicle loaded with premium Dunlop Hiflex and Stucchi products and everything they need to do the job right, first time.

No waiting around for parts. No hunting for tools. No excuses.

You arrive, you diagnose, you fix. The customer is back up and running. You move on to the next job.

There's a real sense of autonomy in this role. You manage your day, your customers, and your route. You're trusted to get the job done, and you're rewarded when you do.

If you're the kind of engineer who wants to be in control of their work and their earnings, this is the role for you.

Days of searching, minutes to fix!🔧

Jim from JF Fanning and Sons brought his Komatsu mini digger into our Bristol branch after days of hunting for an elusive hydraulic leak with no luck.

Our engineer Jayden Hawkes tracked it down in no time. Hose replaced, and while the machine was with us, we repaired the ram too. Jim left with a fully working digger and a smile on his face (as you can see! 😄).

Great job, Jayden! 👏

P.S. No toes were hurt while posing for this photo. 🩴
