We caught up with Mark in his role of Service Centre Manager at our Middlesbrough depot to find out more about his career journey.
I feel Sunbelt Rentals is a people-focused business that pulls together to make it happen.
“I enjoy working with my team to provide Power solutions to customers in a short space of time. if a job needs doing it gets done.”
I applied to Sunbelt Rentals from the Armed Forces recruitment website
“I’m currently in my 6th year with Sunbelt Rentals after leaving the British Army in 2017 following a 22-year career.
I served with the Royal Signals in several different roles latterly as a senior operations manager and as part of a Counter IED bomb disposal team on UK ops and in Helmand Province Afghanistan.
During my service I gained an NVQ level 5 in leadership and management.
When I applied to Sunbelt I didn’t really knowing much about the hire industry, but the advert sounded like it would make really good use of my skills gained in my previous career.”
We have a very positive and friendly work environment
“Every day is different with a variety of activities. I have a running list of jobs with the hire desk and engineering staff. It is a fast-paced, often reactive environment, with short notice to get hire contracts fulfilled.
The team are supportive of each other, including coaching new members with less experience.
I like to nominate team-mates within the depot and other depots for the monthly ‘Hall of Fame’ awards, I’ve also received an award myself.”
Try and learn from everyone you meet within the business, as you never stop learning.
“When I joined I was supported by Regional Operations Manager and other depots and received training from Sunbelt Rentals with a range of courses required for my job role.
I am also empowered with the freedom to be fairly autonomous, but with great support available when needed.
For the future I want to continue to grow my Depot and would like to progress my career by moving into a regional position.”
