Speedy’s UK power division is boasting an impressive show of power for its customers to make the most of, courtesy of a £7 million expansion of its fleet of generators.
The UK’s leading provider of equipment rental and support services is flexing its muscles in a big way to increase its power provision, with a further 37 1260kVA units now under the Speedy banner, across the UK and international divisions.
The investment will bring added stability and reassurance for facilities managers everywhere, particularly during the summer months when demand on the grid is expected to be at an all-time premium.
It will also confirm Speedy’s generator supply as one of the most modern and efficient anywhere in the UK.
Brian Cornett, managing director of Speedy’s power division said: "We recognised a gap in the market and a growing demand by our customers that we had previously been unable to meet, which is why we have invested considerably in this new fleet.
"As part of our continual product improvement, innovation and investment programme, our new fleet now puts us in a leading position to provide power for mains failure, peak lopping, grid support and temporary back up on sites.
"The flexibility of the new units means that we can offer our clients additional power where the mains cannot fulfil their requirements during periods of peak demand."
In addition to the new fleet, Speedy is able to provide a bespoke project-managed turnkey solution to include cabling, step-up transformers, installation and connection as well as a premium back up service.
An extensive product support programme is also in place for customers, which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
All of Speedy’s units are housed within 20′ ISO containers and can be automatically started and stopped at required times, allowing customers to cut down on manpower and fuel costs.
Brian concludes: "With the rapidly growing need for power and peak seasonal demands, a MW solution to supplement the local grid can be taken care of exclusively by us, and now that we have a full fleet behind us, our customers will soon be able to reap the rewards of temporary large scale power."
