Lutterworth, United Kingdom, November 03, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The merger between Nationwide Access and The Platform Company is now complete and the new combined company, Nationwide Platforms, was officially launched on the 3rd November.

The rental fleet covers booms, scissors, telehandlers, truck and van mounted equipment as well as specialist platforms and is supported by the largest and most experienced team of powered access professionals in the industry.
