“Never been busier”

“Never been busier”

Portable sanitation equipment hirer, Site Equip, reports that the measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus continue to create more demand. 

“We are receiving business from people who haven’t ordered from us before,” director Amy Gilbert tells me. “A lot of small builders and contractors who are doing work for homeowners are hiring loos because they can’t use the facilities indoors like they normally would, owing to the restrictions on going inside people’s homes. 

“There’s also demand to supply toilets at premises that will be used at polling stations for the forthcoming local elections in some areas, in greater numbers than we would normally expect. 

“The construction market has never been busier," she adds. "We’ve recently added another 400 portable toilets for the fleet, along with 20 welfare units from Genquip Groundhog and AJC EasyCabin, to cope with demand.”
