Horizon cherry pickers rocking it up at the Download Festival
By Vicki Crowe, Horizon Platforms Account manager
I’ve never been to the famous Download Festival at Donington Park, but I’m proud to say that some of our cherry pickers made their debut there this year!
Download – the UK’s increasingly popular five-day rock festival – took place over a long June weekend with well-known headliners, Slipknot, Muse and Kiss taking to the stage on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Horizon plays its part in the creation of the Airbus A350
By Vicki Crowe, Account Manager for Horizon Platforms
There is no doubt that the whole is generally greater than the sum of its parts – especially when it comes to the creation of something as awe-inspiring as the Airbus A350 – but I do think it’s important sometimes to pause and reflect on just how many different ‘parts’ – both people and machines – are involved in the creation of the finished product.
Horizon Platforms is just one of hundreds of companies involved in helping Airbus create its latest, greenest and most advanced aircraft – the A350 XWB.
A sprinkling of safety from Horizon
By Vicki Crowe, Account Manager for Horizon Platform
I’ve always considered myself to be a jack of all trades and master of none. Recently, however, I’m finding that I need to revisit that assumption as I become increasingly absorbed in the wonderful world of sprinkler systems!
As an Account Manager for Horizon Platforms, I work with a broad range of businesses who wish to hire a powered access platform from Horizon– such as scissor lifts and cherry pickers. I like to think I have a close working relationship with all of my clients, but when I was offered the chance to see behind the scenes at AD Sprinkler Protection Ltd, I jumped at the chance to learn more about the sector, particularly as I’ve recently been given responsibility for contracts within the fire sprinkler industry.
