“As well as Ant Hire’s ability to cater to our requirements regardless of the geography or complexity of the project, the team’s friendly and pragmatic approach, willingness to exceed expectations and first class service delivery are what set them apart from the competition.

“We look forward to further developing our business relationship with them and helping thousands of businesses across Yorkshire to access essential water services.”
