about us
Rental Equipment Services was founded in response to a growing gap in the equipment hire market—where too many companies had become little more than storefronts, leaving customers to figure things out on their own. We saw the need for a service that went beyond just renting gear. Clients needed expertise, guidance, and the confidence that the job would be done right. That’s where we come in. At Rental Equipment Services, we combine top-quality equipment with hands-on experience, ensuring every hire comes with the know-how to match. Whether it’s tight-access jobs, complex lifts, or high-pressure timelines, we bring the skills, support, and reliability that today’s worksites demand.

👋 Meet the Team: Jamie – Serial Hire Guy
Jamie is the driving force behind RES Management — and he’s no stranger to the hire industry. With decades of experience across several hire businesses, he’s what you’d call a serial hire guy, bringing deep operational insight, industry knowledge, and a hands-on approach to every job.
Over the years, Jamie saw a growing gap in the market — not in the equipment itself, but in the service surrounding hire and rental. As larger companies facing increased cost pressures employed less experienced staff stuck behind a desk, he became frustrated with limited capacity to truly support clients on-site in their specific environment.
Jamie knew the real value lies in scoping the right solution, coordinating logistics, and managing hire projects so clients can keep their operations moving smoothly and efficiently. That’s what RES was built on — real service, by people who know the industry and show up where it counts.
Why we’re lucky to have him:
A seasoned leader who’s worked across all facets of the hire industry
Builds strong, honest relationships with clients and suppliers
Leads with a practical, solution-first mindset that puts clients first
What sets Jamie apart:
He’s not just at the helm — he’s in the yards, on the phone, and often on-site, making sure our clients get more than just equipment. With Jamie, you get a partner who understands that service is everything.
