That was the message that went out loud and clear at an impressive series of workshops and discussions hosted by A-Plant<\/a> and attended by leading supply chain partners.<\/p>\n

Representatives from A-Plant’s 16 specialist divisions joined brand leading plant and equipment suppliers for the two-day Innovation Workshop to dig deep into the processes and ethos around bringing innovative and sustainable new products to market.<\/p>\n

More than 14 supply chain partners including Altrad Belle, Hilti, Ritelite (Systems), Tag Systems, Trackunit, Wacker Neuson and Zapp Shelters attended the event to demonstrate their latest products.<\/p>\n

During the last three years, A-Plant has invested more than \u00a3150m annually in new equipment.<\/p>\n

A-Plant’s Commercial Director Dave Harris commentated on the Innovation Workshop, which took place at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry.<\/p>\n

“We are the largest equipment rental company in the UK and innovation is at the heart of everything we do.<\/p>\n

“We are constantly looking at new ways to expand our fleet and services and this involves collaborating closely with our customers and suppliers.<\/p>\n

“Identifying future customer needs and trends as well as being a conduit for trialling and launching new products and services, experimenting with new processes and systems and investing in and encouraging innovation is a key focus.<\/p>\n

“The Innovation Workshop was a huge success in bringing together representatives from all our 16 specialists divisions with leading suppliers; it was an opportunity to brainstorm, share ideas and boost our continual drive to be market leading innovators.”<\/p>\n

Trackunit’s UK Country Manager Mark Smyth said: “Innovation is a buzz word throughout the construction industry at the moment, especially with major infrastructure projects such as HS2 about to get underway.<\/p>\n

“We were delighted to take part in A-Plant’s Innovation Workshop and continually look at new ways to work smarter and collaboratively to create new innovations for the future.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
