Star’s joint managing director Richard Miller said: “Skyjack and Niftylift have received most of our capital expenditure for 2017. Not only do both companies offer a good commercial deal, but more importantly, they are very easy to do business with. Their products have received excellent user acceptance from our customers and they are the manufacturers of choice within our engineering department due to the ease in dealing with their after sales support teams. We anticipate 2017 being a very busy year and we need to ensure we have a modern fleet and the continued capacity to support our loyal customer base.”
