I needed specialist electrical plant to include, diggers and dumpers in a hurry (not an everyday available product) had been seriously let down by another plant hire company. Called Adam at Rockthorn and nothing was too much trouble, several phone calls later, couple promises made, couple promises delivered! Direct line in so no call centres to deal with. Since first hire they've sent me plant all over the country! So far the company, especially Adam has been faultless and certainly will be a key factor into my business success! You need plant, just call Rockthorn.
