“We are delighted to win this prestigious award, working with market leading products makes our work much easier.” says Mark Hodgkinson, Quantum Controls’ UK Drive Rental Fleet Manager. Since launching the Rental Department back in 2015, it has been a steady increase for the department. During 2016 we saw our business double in size as we have increased our portfolio of products and really targeted the market.
“Mark and his team, and the whole of Quantum Controls, have worked extremely hard to get this award. I am very proud and look forward to what the rest of 2018 and the future brings. Hopefully we will win UK Drive Rental Company of the Year 2019. Keep your eyes peeled,” adds Kevin Brown, Managing Director. This award comes at a wonderful time as we are investing a further £1.2m in 2018 to extend the hire fleet stock to keep up with customer demand.

Quantum Controls is the UK’s leading supplier of Variable Speed Drives and Support Services.
Our unique Drive Rental Fleet and on-site services offer UK manufacturing access to our broad range of weatherproof panels suitable for indoor or outdoor installations.
“Our drives are supplied in our own purpose built WP5 Weather Proof Enclosures, which are the product of four years’ research and development to develop a drive enclosure system that delivers everything that our clients could want in a rental drive. Our drives are suitable for any application from basic pump and fan to the most demanding application you can think of. Suitable for positioning in switch room, on plant or even outdoors in any weather our unique WP5 range provide the best rental solution for your application,” says Hodgkinson.
Quantum Controls is the only company in the UK offering customers an “on site first visit fix Guarantee”. With over 1500 drives stocked throughout the UK in our local service centres, these are available with engineers, a factor cited by the innovation and excellence team as the main reason for winning the prestigious award.
“Quantum Drive Rental Service ensures that costly downtime is kept to an absolute minimum when a client has their production process down due to a failed variable speed drive unit,” says Hodgkinson.
“When our 800kW Pulper Drive failed at 2am we contacted Quantum Controls who had a hire drive on its way to us within the hour. We were losing £20k an hour in lost production but Quantum Engineers met the drive at site, installed, commissioned the drive and the plant was up and running by 11am. Excellent Service that saved us a lot of money” adds Steve Smith, Electrical Engineering Manager for one of Quantum’s longstanding customers.
