Installed two pontoons in Haverfordwest, Wales. 🌉 As they construct the new bridge, our pontoons will efficiently catch and manage debris.

Here's our latest blog on a project we're involved in on Loch Glass in Scotland providing access for pumping water out of the Loch -

Event Season in Full Swing - https://www.floatingpontoonhire.co.uk/blog/pontoon-events-season-in-full-swing/

Today is World Day. A devastating 236 people accidentally drowned in the UK last year – 63% of those happened at inland locations, such as canals, rivers, docks and reservoirs. That's 236 too many.

If you see someone struggling in the water:

📞 Call 999
📣 Tell them to float on their back
⭕ Throw something that floats

If you find yourself in difficulty in the water:

Remember ‘Float to Live’ 👇

🔹 Tilt your head back with ears submerged
🔹 Relax and try to control your breathing
🔹 Use your hands to help you stay afloat
🔹 It's OK if your legs sink, we all float differently

Exciting day in Stratford! Today, we successfully used our new Hiab trailer for a small but impactful installation. We're providing a 20x2m pontoon to act as a fall protection platform, ensuring safety and stability. Thrilled to see our equipment in action and making a difference!

It’s summer (apparently) and that means event season for our pontoons. This one was installed in Swansea recently for a triathlon event (for those brave enough to take the plunge).

Small install in Birmingham this morning providing access to a reservoir pump outlet.

We were at Centre Parks Longleat last week installing an access pontoon for divers.
