GTAccess Limited recently had the pleasure of welcoming Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP to our head offices in Bromsgrove along with our local district Councillor, Phil Thomas
He was shown around the premises by Jonathan Till (MD) and Jo Till (director) and he was excited to be able to actually get hands on with some of the new recently arrived machinery.
Cllr Thomas said “Great news to see a local firm expanding & providing jobs”
Sajid Javid has seen GTAccess radically change over the 11 since becoming the Conservative MP for Bromsgrove back in 2010. Back then we operated from two small depots in Bromsgrove and Gloucester, 19 Staff and 295 machines, today it is 12 Depot spread across England and wales, 155 Staff and over 3,000 machines, making us the largest independent access company in the UK.
This growth has been achieved by organic growth and acquisitions, in 2011 taking over 3 firms giving rise to new depots in Hereford, Stoke and Shrewsbury, we opened a 6th depot in Bridgend in 2015, a further acquisition in 2019 gave us our 7th depot in Hailsham. Having survided the pandemic with 20% drop in turnover, we have bounce back in 2021 and in June Aquired Neon Hire giving us a further 5 depots in Birmingham, Brentwood, Dunstable, London & Peterborough
We invest around £10 million in new equipment every year, but more importantly with our employee count having risen to over 155, we have been instrumental in creating a new apprentichip scheme with IPAF, and NWSL College and currently employ 8 engineering apprentices and see the apprenticeship scheme which still continues today is an important part of our future growth
Like Sajid Javid, Jonathan & Jo Till are passionate about supporting the local community, and also get actively involved in various charitable organisations throughout the West Midlands, as do various other members of staff, including the local Christmas sleigh that will be hitting the road in the coming weeks collecting money for local charities
This is not the first time we have had the pleasure of hosting Sajid Javid, and hopefully it will not be the last.
