Hako extends its partnership with Briggs Equipment
Hako Machines UK and Briggs Equipment have extended their partnership, promising to deliver world-class cleaning and maintenance solutions to businesses across the UK.
This collaboration builds upon years of shared values and commercial success, combining Hako’s reputation for market leading cleaning machines with Briggs Equipment’s expertise in materials handling and equipment management. Together, the two companies offer a fully supported, end-to-end solution that stands out in the market.
Briggs Equipment has long had a focus on providing cleaning machines to its clients, previously working with a range of brands. However, in 2017, it became clear that to truly meet their clients’ needs, Briggs needed to partner with a company offering not only superior products and support but also shared cultural values.
Leigh Mason, Sales Director at Briggs Equipment, said: “Briggs are proud to have an exclusive partnership with Hako. It’s not just about the products; it’s about working with a company that aligns with our ethical standards and way of doing business.”
The partnership thrives due to the ease of working together, user-friendly products, and commercial viability. Full stakeholder support, from managing directors to sales managers and the entire support team, ensures seamless operations.
“Selling products is easy,” Leigh adds, “but having a true ethical working partnership is unique.” The objectives and values of both companies are in perfect alignment, which Leigh describes as “100% essential” for the ongoing success of the partnership.
Hako’s extensive range of indoor and outdoor cleaning machines are the natural choice for Briggs Equipment due to their quality and simplicity. The range, from the B30 pedestrian scrubber drier to the Citymaster road sweeper, is straightforward and covers every professional requirement, truly representing a “one-stop professional shop.”
Equally important is the service support provided by Hako. Service is a cornerstone for Briggs and its clients, as minimising downtime is critical. Together, the companies ensure that each customer receives the right machine for their specific application, backed by robust service intervals and short-term hire options where needed.
Training is recognised as crucial for machine operatives, technicians, and trainers. Hako delivers dedicated support “cradle to grave,” from product demonstration to comprehensive training for all Briggs staff as well as end-user clients. Briggs benefits from access to Crick and Wakefield training centres, supporting their national sales and support teams and ensuring every operative is fully equipped to use the machines effectively.
Craig Metcalf, UK Sales Director for Hako Machines, said: “Our extended partnership strengthens our ability to deliver not just machinery, but a fully supported, end-to-end solution. Customers benefit from dedicated account managers, highly skilled service technicians, and first-class training centres across the UK. Our back-to-back service support and training guarantee fast response times and reliable, fixed-first-time solutions. This collaboration ensures maximum uptime, cost efficiency, and peace of mind for businesses relying on their cleaning equipment every day.”
With this extended partnership, Hako and Briggs Equipment continue to set the standard for excellence in cleaning and maintenance solutions, putting customers’ needs first and delivering value throughout every stage of ownership.
