HSS Hire, a national tool and equipment rental company in the U.K., has developed a new working relationship with City Gateway, a London charity that works to encourage, engage, mentor and train residents of the disadvantaged Tower Hamlets community. HSS Training delivers industry training programs throughout its national network.

The program will concentrate on customer service skills as well as construction knowledge. The four-week training course will be followed by a six-week placement in one of HSS’ London branches.
