Star Platforms awarded IPAF Rental+ Gold Standard

UK powered access company, Star Platforms, has successfully passed their recent IPAF Rental+ audit for powered access rental, attaining the highest quality mark possible; the IPAF Rental+ ‘Gold’ standard.

Run by the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF), the respected IPAF Rental+ quality mark demonstrates to customers that the rental company they use has been independently audited by an ISO9001 lead auditor, within the last 12 months to the most stringent standards of rental processes, staff training, equipment quality & maintenance, customer advice, and customer satisfaction.

With IPAF Rental+, you get complete reassurance at every stage of the rental process;
