Ardent Achieves Gold

Ardent Hire Solutions is pleased to announce that it has earned the designation of ‘Gold Members’ from the Supply Chain Sustainability School (SCSS).

The School, founded by Skanska with support from Kier, Lend Lease, Morgan Sindall, Sir Robert McAlpine, Willmott Dixon and Aggregate Industries represents a common approach to addressing sustainability within supply chains.

To reach such a high position, Ardent successfully completed an assessment followed by regular re-assessments.  They actively reviewed the school resources and showed improvement through implementing new processes, demonstrated an increase in sustainability experience and actively shared their knowledge and experience with other members. 

Ardent Hire, one of the UK’s largest plant hire companies has set out a sustainable plan to become the UK’s premier plant solutions provider. ‘With a target to double the size of its market share in the UK, initiatives such as working with the SCSS continuously improves our knowledge in the markets we serve and allows us to better understand our customers’ sustainable targets’, explains Garry Orr, SHEQ Director at Ardent Hire. ‘We are excited to work closely with the school and learn more about ways in which we can position ourselves as leaders in the fight for a sustainable future’.  

The SCSS is a virtual learning environment that aims to help us develop our sustainability knowledge and competence. It was designed to help further address the challenges faced by the construction industry and to help companies benefit from the many new opportunities that are emerging through sustainable business.
