Welcome to International Platforms

I am thrilled that our new business, International Platforms Ltd, has been launched today. As industry experts in the access platform business, our mission is to match buyers with the right equipment of the right age and in the right condition, wherever they are in the world. 

I have enjoyed a fantastic career in the access platform industry, with over 16 years’ experience working for some of the top firms in the business including Mawsley Machinery, AJ Access Platforms and Genie. I’ve enjoyed all my roles immensely!  

This year has taken some unexpected turns for all of us, including my daughter Jade being made redundant, due to the impact of the COVID-19 crisis. We both longed for a more flexible pace of life where we could combine running a business with spending more time with our horses. We thought this would be the perfect opportunity to use both mine and Jade’s skillsets to achieve this dream and launch our own business.  

With our combined experience and specialist knowledge of the industry, together with plenty of contacts, we are looking forward to making International Platforms a huge success. Our goal is to provide new and used MEWPs to buyers across the world. Equipment supplied will include self-propelled booms and scissor lifts, low level and tracked access and much more. We expect to see international demand for used equipment grow during these tough times, with sustained demand in the building, maintenance, cladding, demolition and facilities management services. In fact, any business that needs to ensure safe working at height needs an access platform.  

With immediate effect we will be getting off to a flying start, concentrating our efforts into reaching out to access platform buyers and finding them the perfect machinery for their job.
