About South West Hire and Sale

South West Hire and Sales is an independently run Tool hire company with depots in Plymouth, Torquay, Newquay, Exeter, Launceston and Truro.

Our Company’s owners Andy Webber and Mark Williams each have over 40 years experience within the Tool hire industry with both having started their careers as ‘YTS’ trainees. During these 40 years both Andy and Mark learnt their trade by working for some of the big names within the Tool Hire Industry until eventually deciding to go it alone and opened their first depot at Stonehouse Street, Plymouth in March 2008. Due to the success of the Plymouth depot it allowed us to open the Torquay depot in 2009, followed by our Newquay depot in 2012, Exeter depot in 2015 and our Truro depot in 2017. Due to the high demand from our customers South West Lifting Services was then created in 2019 so that we could specialise in the examination and testing of lifting equipment. June 2021 saw the opening of our Launceston depot which now brings the total number of depots in Cornwall to three. We are now pleased t announce that our newest addition in Taunton opened in March 2024.

The company has a real independent and local feel to it which is promoted by our slogan ‘Bringing the local touch to Tool Hire’. The whole South West Hire and Sales team have been ‘hand picked’ from the local areas with every staff member having considerable experience within the Tool hire trade. Andy and Mark are very serious about customer care and encourage their team to be friendly, professional and approachable whilst supplying the highest level of service possible
