RHINOS AND ELEPHANTS AND BEARS. OH MY!
We have an affinity for animals. Our company is branded with a polar bear. Our major brand, HIAB, sports an elephant as its logo. While a polar bear to represent Atlas Polar seems pretty obvious, you might question the elephant. Or not, if you’re graphically inclined (think trunk and boom) or know a bit about […]

WHY CUSTOMERS KEEP COMING BACK TO GERRY’S
Customers keep coming back to Gerry’s. HIAB, Moffett and Multilift customers in the London area can now find out why. Gerry Wardle grew up around vehicles.
