Access Platform Sales (APS) recently marked 30 years in business, celebrating with clients at Vertikal Days 2017.

The company was founded in Cambridgeshire in May 1987 by Malcolm Brown and Jim Daintith. APS merged with replacement parts specialist IPS in 2013, forming IAPS Group.

Steve Couling, managing director of IAPS Group, attributes the company's success to its long-lasting relationships with customers and suppliers.

As well as looking back, APS continues to evolve and Vertikal Days represented its first official outing as the new UK distributor for Sogage vehicle-mounted booms. The booms join a range of Genie booms and scissors, Aldercote van mounts, Wienold material lifts and low-level access platforms from Youngman BoSS.

The company used its Silverstone celebration to debut the latest tracked boom from Hinowa, the Lightlift 13.70.
