Who We Work With

What Our
Clients Say About
Think Hire

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"The hybrid system has exceeded expectations. Since installation, our site has run on batteries and solar PV for 86% of the time, cutting fuel use by nearly 8,300 litres and avoiding around 22 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.

The system was quick to set up, fully autonomous, and has made a noticeable difference to local noise and air quality. The current trial has demonstrated very strong results, significant environmental benefits, reduced GHG emissions, cost reductions, and silent power overnight. The hybrid generator system has proved its value in adopting this technology when running off-grid."

"We wanted Innovation Day to reflect our ambition for the construction industry, to be forward-thinking and environmentally responsible. Working with Think Hire showed that it’s completely possible to run a complex event on clean energy alone."

“The Think Hire products are branded really well and look great, which is really important in our industry. People don't understand: if you've got a job that's 60 or 80 weeks long, that's a year and a half of your life spent in those facilities. The product works great. They've got the specs sorted. They've got it down to a T”

“We work with several suppliers, but currently we use Think Hire in almost all cases. I use Think Hire because they handle everything on-site and set it all up, which means I don't need to worry about anything. With our previous supplier, we had to either do the plumbing ourselves or hire someone separately to do it. With Think Hire, if there's a problem, since they've done everything, they take responsibility and resolve it”
