Read before you hire ! * Beware *
Booked Berry Cranes for a 3 day consecutive Hire & paid upfront for 8 hour hires. First two days went fine until the third. Berrys crane broke down for over 3 hours ( understand issues happen ) but then we were taken to court over ONE hours overtime once crane was fixed?! The breakdown put our team back hours which incurred us costs that far exceeded the 65.00 due. Safe to say all works would be completed within the pre paid hours,
Martyn Berry is an extremely arrogant silver spooned and unreasonable young man.
Ive not quite known anyone have issues
