IPAF is celebrating as its Powered Access Industry Trust (PAINT) scheme, which has raised over £10,000 thanks to the generosity of members and supporters across the powered access industry.

Launched in 2025 in partnership with Weston Park Cancer Charity, PAINT gives companies across the powered access industry a simple way to contribute to cancer research and make a positive difference to people affected by cancer.

The initiative was established to bring the industry together behind an important cause. IPAF members can nominate a machine in their fleet as a dedicated ‘PAINT machine’, with a proportion of the rental income donated each time it is hired. Companies can also contribute through other revenue streams, including training income, or make a direct donation.

The £10,000 milestone demonstrates the impact that can be made when businesses across the industry work together. IPAF offers special recognition and thanks to: 1Up Access, Midland Access, Mr Plant Hire, Premier Platforms, Hoist Hire Services Ltd, GT Access, APL and Davis Access for their contributions to the scheme.

“Reaching £10,000 is a fantastic achievement and a real reflection of the generosity of our members. PAINT was created to give our industry an opportunity to come together and support cancer research, and it is fantastic to see members embracing the initiative," said IPAF Rental+ Manager, Martin Wraith.
