RELAX! This man has now retired!!

 

Barry Sewards, Chairman of Total Hire & Sales Limited presented Dave Wickes with his retirement plaque last month in front of staff at our Ripley Location. Dave has been with the company for over 20 years, and has had numerous roles within the business, mastering very few of them!!!

Seriously though, he has been an integral part of the Total Hire team over the years and his ways and his bad joke  telling will be missed.

Dave will be best remembered for his love of doing the deal, and his use of the catchphrase, hello blue eyes and who’s next to be robbed!!

His hobby of purchasing second had cars will be sadly missed amongst the staff as they are now looking for a new outlet for their purchases. In the past three years he has bought more cars than the whole of the company’s staff put together, but even away from work the lure of the negotiation was just too much for him, rumour was, he even offered to buy our Director, Carl Tidey his car off him as he drove Dave to the station!!!!

But he will be much missed and was much loved, a character of the Hire Industry; we all wish him the best for the future in his well-deserved retirement.

TOTAL HIRE WORKING HAND IN PAW WITH THE RSPCA

Total Hire and Sales were keen to get involved with the exciting plans for a new flagship RSPCA hospital and rescue centre near Birmingham.

The city has been chosen to be the home of the first national RSPCA centre in the history of the animal charity.

It will be built on a 42,000 sq ft of farmland in Frankley and become the only such centre in the country to have both a hospital and re-homing centre next to each other.

But the RSPCA needs to raise £3 million to ensure the premises can open and has appealed to everyone in the West Midlands to become involved in supporting the project through its new Leaps and Bounds Appeal.

Total Hire & Sales supported this worthwhile event by donating all the event equipment that they required to help the appeal on the way.

Carl Tidey, Director & General Manager of Total Hire commented that. ‘ It’s great to be involved and be able to support such a worthwhile cause. The new facility will provide much needed support for the RSPCA and we are pleased to be able to help them in anyway we can.”

The RSPCA spokesman is ex-Coronation Street star Adam Rickitt who has taken time out of his career to work on the appeal.

The actor, who played Nick Tilsley in the soap, said: “This new development is going to be the beating heart of the RSPCA.

“It will be the only facility in the whole country to have both a hospital and re-homing centre.

“Rescue and hospital treatment and then rehabilitation and finally re-homing – that entire cycle the RSPCA stands for – it will be the only place that can do it in one setting. The people of Birmingham should be really excited about being chosen for the site of the first ever flagship RSPCA centre.”

Total Hire get involved with local community event!

Total Hire & Sales are delighted to have been asked to be involved in this year’s Graduate Global Challenge for Rolls-Royce. For a number of years, Rolls-Royce has worked with its new intake of graduate trainees to complete a community-based challenge during their first week with the Company.  For Rolls-Royce, the project aims to give this year’s cohort of approximately 250 graduate trainees from across the globe the opportunity to get to know one another and develop their interpersonal and team working skills, whilst also making a valuable contribution in the local community. 

This year’s project was managed by Derby-based community enterprise RedWelly.  RedWelly works in partnership with social landlords and businesses to organise garden ‘makeovers’ that transform outdoor areas for the benefit of the community. Total Hire have a long standing working relationship with RedWelly and on this occasion was happy to provide a selection of power tools, spades, wheelbarrows and hand tools to assist the graduates with the task they had to undertake. 

Carl Tidey, Director & General Manager attended the event at Drum Hill Scouts Camp in Little Eaton on Tuesday 13th September where Rolls-Royce newest employees were given the challenge to improve the grounds. ”We are proud to be part of this worthwhile community based initiative with Rolls-Royce and RedWelly. It’s pleasing to know that the work that is being carried out will be enjoyed by the young generation for years to come.”

Drum Hill is a nationally recognised Scout County campsite, situated 6 miles north of Derby. It hosts between 8000-9000 young people each year taking part in a camping or indoor residential experience as well as thousands more making day or evening visits.  As well as Scouts and Guides it is used by many other youth groups and organisations including Army Cadets, Air Training Cadets, Youth Clubs, Church Groups, community groups and Schools.
