Warren Access is a UK powered access equipment rental and training company, founded in 1993 in Cramlington and now operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of UK Tool Hire Group Ltd following a 2025 acquisition. It hires mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs) — scissor lifts, self-propelled booms, tracked spider lifts, and truck- and van-mounted platforms from 7.8m to 33m working height — through depots in Newcastle, Huntingdon, the East Midlands, the West Midlands, and Nottingham. Customers include construction and building maintenance firms, arboriculture contractors, utilities companies, and local government councils. The company also runs an IPAF-accredited training centre (accredited since 2009) offering MEWP operator, manager, harness, and PASMA courses, alongside e-learning theory modules, with a reported 98% training pass rate, and sells related safety equipment such as fall protection harnesses from £70. Revenue is generated through three streams: usage-based equipment hire (both self-drive and operated), professional services training delivered at depots and online, and hardware sales of safety equipment, with unit pricing such as IPAF courses from £121 and PASMA courses from £150. The go-to-market is direct-to-customer via depot-based sales, the company website (warrenaccess.co.uk), social channels, and email/newsletter, complemented by an Access Alliance partnership network of UK independent powered access rental companies. Since the 2025 acquisition, customers have access to a broader 30+ course catalogue and 100+ e-learning modules under the UK Tool Hire Group umbrella.
