Double the Power in Media City

Posted in News MediaTagged , Leave a Comment on Double the Power in Media City

Recently, our expert team at NMT Crane Hire executed a remarkable lift at Manchester’s MediaCity, deploying two 80-tonne Liebherr cranes to hoist a massive 19-tonne tent structure.

The prestigious site serves as the UK’s premier hub for media, creative, and digital industries, housing some of Britain’s most renowned broadcasters, production companies, and technology firms.

When our client needed reliability and expertise, we dispatched our specialist team from our Birmingham depot to handle this challenging project. The lift was conducted with the precision and care that defines NMT’s approach, right in front of the major offices of the BBC, Dock10, and ITV.

This complex operation demanded meticulous coordination and absolute safety—standards we proudly delivered. Our team’s expertise ensured the lift was executed flawlessly, maintaining our reputation for excellence in even the most demanding environments.

From delicate production set installations to heavy-duty construction projects, NMT Crane Hire brings the optimal equipment, experience, and expertise to complete every job safely and efficiently.

Remember, our nationwide service covers the entire UK. With our extensive fleet, dedicated team, and proven track record, we confidently handle projects of all scales and complexities.

Welcome Home, Mikey

Posted in News MediaTagged , , , , Leave a Comment on Welcome Home, Mikey

NMT Crane Hire is delighted to announce the return of Mikey York to the team.
After a successful spell working with another crane company, Mikey has rejoined NMT as a Technical Sales Manager, taking responsibility for Major Projects across the UK.
As the saying goes, ‘never leave a business on bad terms,’ and this couldn’t be truer for Mikey, who has always held NMT close to his heart.
“It’s great to be back,” Mikey said.
“I have a strong affinity to this company. NMT is my spiritual home and somewhere that’s close to my heart. When I left a few years ago, James and Mark Ambridge told me, ‘When the time is right to come back to the family, then just pick up the phone.’ That time is now, and I couldn’t be happier.”
Mikey’s return is already making an impact.
Operating primarily out of the North while maintaining a base in Kent, he’s strategically placed to service major projects across the South of the country as well.
Since starting his new role, Mikey has secured four significant job wins, partnering with some of the UK’s most prominent brands.
Reflecting on his return, Mikey added: “It feels right to be back. It’s as though I’ve never been away. All the lads in the yard have welcomed me back with open arms. The management team is fantastic, and under JD’s leadership, I can see the business going from strength to strength.
“It’s a different company to the one I left, but I can see NMT really making a mark in the industry. I trained a lot of the staff here at NMT and it’s great to see how they’ve progressed. This is where my heart is.”
James ‘JD’ Ambridge, NMT Managing Director, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to have Mikey back with us at NMT Crane Hire. Mikey has always been a valued member of our team, and his experience, expertise, and passion for the business are second to none.
“His return couldn’t have come at a better time as we continue to grow and take on major projects across the UK. Mikey knows the DNA of this company, and with his dedication to customer service and industry knowledge, we’re confident he will play a pivotal role in driving NMT forward.”
