Platform Service & Repair (PSR) has launched as a dedicated service and aftersales division of APS, appointing Neil Ashton as Service Director to lead its nationwide operations.
The new division offers comprehensive service, repair and LOLER inspections for a wide range of powered access equipment, from low-level units to truck-mounted platforms. With a nationwide team of factory-trained engineers, PSR aims to deliver consistent, high-quality lifecycle support across the UK.
Neil Ashton brings decades of experience in engineering and aftersales within the access and lifting sectors. He began his career in the Royal Engineers before moving into the powered access industry, where he held roles including Field Service Engineer, Service Manager and Head of Aftersales at Versalift. Most recently, he served as Service Manager at APS.
“I’m proud to be part of PSR and to take on the role of Service Director,” said Ashton. “High-performing service and aftercare support are critical to maximising safety, equipment uptime and return on investment for our customers.”
APS Managing Director Andy Bray added: “Neil’s experience and leadership make him the ideal person to guide PSR’s service operations.”
The launch of PSR reflects APS’s focus on strengthening aftersales support, with services covering leading equipment brands including JLG Industries, Hinowa and Palfinger.
