It began in 1957 when Bert Taylor lent his sister a ladder! The business grew and grew, and today, over 50 years later, HSS provides an ever increasing range of tools and equipment for trade and DIY customers and big businesses alike, together with training services, managed equipment plans, and HSS LiveHire - one of the most powerful tools in the hire industry. We now operate over 270 locations nationwide, and HSS.com is the industry’s first fully transactional website enabling customers to click and collect, see live availability, and find their nearest branch.
While we’re committed to customer service, we’re proud to believe that our people are just as important. That’s why we not only make sure we recruit the right people - we also made sure everyone’s happy, whether they’ve joined us at the heart of our business in our branches, helped us take a strategic approach as a manager, or driven us forward in one of our back office support teams.
