Black Friday challenges

Allan Parsons, national rental manager for Briggs Equipment offers five top tips for ensuring businesses are prepared for Black Friday and the wider season rush:

1. Ensure you have the right equipment for the busy period
2. Safeguard your site - from early November snow could be a problem as well as ice, rain and gales
   
3. Ensure your staff are prepared - ncreased pressure can cause operators to rush, which increases the risk of accidents and damage
   
4. Have a plan - make a realistic assessment of expected demand and how to cope with it
   
5. Work closely with your materials handling provider - this is imperative to keep  machines working efficiently to maintain high productivity levels.
