International Platforms Customer Review

– A regular customer from the Baltic Region

Are you outside the UK and considering buying from International Platforms for the first time? If so, you may have a few questions about us.

We hope this testimonial from one of our biggest clients, a multi-million Euro market leader in the Baltic states, helps answer them.

How I find the machines I need from International Platforms

“I started my aerial platform rental business in 2009. We now have a fleet of approximately 2000 machines and employ around 200 people.

“I first met Vicki at Genie nine years ago and I’d also heard about her through other corporate platforms, so it was good to make contact and stay in touch through LinkedIn. It was through LinkedIn that I discovered that Vicki had started her own business, International Platforms.

“Many of our access platforms are from Genie, so when I saw Vicki advertising some good offers on Z45 articulated booms I got in touch. We quickly ended up buying 15 machines in two deals with many more to follow.

“I find lots of the machines I buy through Vicki’s latest stock updates on LinkedIn, sometimes from their regular email newsletters and sometimes I message Vicki or Jade to ask if they have what I need. Vicki often contacts me when she has machines coming in she thinks I would be interested in”

Vicki Allen, MD of International Platforms

It is easy to buy used access platforms from the UK

“Today I import from the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland and a few other countries as well as the UK and I’ve been pleased to discover that, in spite of being sceptical about Brexit, that the paperwork has not been a problem, delivery just as quick and the prices are just as competitive.”

I trust Vicki’s description of the machines I buy

“The biggest worry I have when replenishing my stock isn’t so much paperwork, it’s making sure I am 100% certain of the technical condition of the machines I buy.

“I completely trust Vicki’s description and appraisal of the machines in her stock lists. International Platforms has mechanics to inspect machines before they leave their depot. The condition is not a lottery as their engineering team members do their job.”

You’ll get a quick answer to your enquiries

“As well as getting the correct information, I’m impressed with the speed Jade replies to my questions on WhatsApp or email. Even if she needs time to find the answer, she always acknowledges me really quickly so I know a response will follow soon.”

It’s a family business and it shows

International Platforms has a great team and is becoming more and more sophisticated. When they asked me for feedback about what I’d like to see more of as a customer, all I could say is that they should remind people that this is a family business, Vicki’s name is over the door, and it shows.”
