About UsMeet our friendly team
LukeHire Desk Controller
Luke runs our TFM Hire Desk, taking bookings, and sorting all the back office admin. He came to us in April 2026 from a background working in logistics and hopes to utilize and develop his skills with us in the hire world.
AlanHire / General Maintenance
Whilst Alan is our general site maintenance he works closely with our Mechanic and Hire Supervisor when we need an extra set of hands due to workload, or just general cover for holidays. Alan's knowledge and experience has helped strengthen our team and he's more than capable of turning his hand to any task whether it's installing our estate fencing at the front of our site or repairing any piece of hire equipment requiring work. He joined us in 2020 and whilst he's now semi-retired working two days a week, he is definitely handy to have around. He is qualified as a forklift driver as well as holding his 360 and cherry picker licences, and enjoys sharing this expertise with all of our customers.
Alan HYard Manager and Plant Hire Mechanic
Alan H joined our Hire team to take on the role of Plant Fitter. He's more than proved his worth in the short time he's been with us and also taken on the overseeing of the yard, managing the space and general site issues that crop up outside of the Hire Fleet. He works well along Alan W, Luke and Matt.
LouiseBusiness Manager
Louise rejoined us in April 2022 after working in Human Resources for four years. She had worked at TFM previously whilst studying at Sheffield Hallam University and has worked across many areas of the business throughout her time with us from Purchasing (a role she took on full-time in the summer whilst we were between staff) through to customer-facing work in the shop and then in 2022 came back full time as our Hire Supervisor. When Frank (her Grandad and previous Managing Director of TFM) was in palliative care, he expressed a wish for Louise to be made Assistant General Manager. At the time. Louise had only rejoined us a year and a half earlier so Nikki (her Mum and General Manager) felt it was too soon but was soon proved wrong when Nikki had to disappear from the business to care for her Dad. Louise's promotion happened shortly afterwards and she's been an absolute asset to our team ever since! Her experience across so many areas of the business as well as her years in HR have given her a good breadth of knowledge and experience from back office to customer facing both on the hire and shop side of the business. One day when Nikki retires, Louise will take on the day to day running of the business.
NikkiDirector
Nikki joined TFM ten years ago when the business was a quarter of the turnover it is today and two years after her Dad (Frank) had inherited the business. She had spent ten years working in the print/copy IT solutions industry starting there as a Contracts Administrator before moving successfully through roles as a Consultant, National Accounts Manager and latterly a Prince 2 Project Management Practitioner working on vast projects such as installations across large University and Hospital campuses. More relevant to Hire, her early career was spent in the motor trade where she had 13 years working for Jaguar, Land Rover, Volkswagen and Audi mainly on the Service side of the business but also Customer Relations, Sales and Administration. All this experience has given her a good grounding for TFM even if she had to learn the industry from scratch. Frank (Dad) took a step back through Covid (March 2020) due to health concerns but he didn't fully retire until the week before he died in June 2023 so she fully embraces the support Louise and the Team are now able to offer her in his absence. She knows she will never be able to fill her Dad's shoes but she'll always endeavour to look after the customers, the business and the amazing Team of staff.
