Plant Ltd, Boston Access, A-Space Cabins and Norspace Ltd. Chadwick’s are one of the c o u n t r y ’ s foremost builders merchants, with o u t l e t s throughout Leinster, Munster and Connacht. HHS and Laois Hire both specialise in tool and equipment hire, while Fridge Rentals is Ireland’s leading commercial fridge rental company. Also based in Kill, Pak Plant is a subsidiary of Euro Gas Ltd which was founded in 1999 to serve a growing requirement for specifiers and contractors for the provision of off-site solutions to sites. Boston Access is a scaffold board supplier operating from Naas, Co. Kildare. A-Space Cabins and Norspace Ltd are both specialist suppliers of modular and temporary accommodation. Geoff usually buys his Scania trucks from Delaney Commercials in Naas, while Rathcoole Motors look after his servicing and DOE testing needs. He also carries out repairs and maintenance in-house. Employing 11 staff, Kill Haulage operates from a large yard, workshop and office in Kill, which is situated just off the busy M7 motorway and close to the Kildare-Dublin boundary. “We can be in Dublin within a matter of minutes. That’s where most of our work is carried out,” the affable managing director points out. At the time of writing, Geoff was due to take delivery of a 2008registered Scania truck, which he bought from McElvaney Motors. The truck was being fitted with a 50-tonne crane by Ivan Bennett of Bennett Truck Bodies in Stradbally, Co. Laois. Despite being in competition with one another, Geoff reveals how Ireland’s truck and crane hire specialists enjoy an excellent working relationship: “There is plenty of competition between us all but, by and large, we get on well and help out each other. If I haven’t got a crane suitable for a certain job, I will give it to someone else and he will return the favour. That’s the way it works. We work well together.” He concludes by saying: “The first 15 years have gone okay for us, despite the economic downturn of the past six or seven years. If we can keep going the way we are, we’ll be happy.”
