Sunbelt Rentals

Streamline’s partnership with Sunbelt Rentals

Our partnership with Sunbelt Rentals began in 2019 with the business’s rebrand from A-Plant to Sunbelt Rentals. Sunbelt Rentals is a huge brand with a total of 190 depots and 3500 team members. Through supplying Branded Merchandise, Branded Clothing and PPE Streamline was able to help support through every step of the process in replacing a previously well-known brand with a brand new one.

Employee engagement from the ground up

It is Sunbelt Rental’s ambition to make every one of its people feel like a valued member of the team, from the moment they join the business. Onboarding merchandise packs have become a key part of their recruitment process. These onboarding packs have been very well received with lots of positive feedback on social media. New starters, before they even begin work, are publicly declaring that they can’t wait to start with such an amazing company.

Every new start is treated the same way; a message direct from the CEO packed with a branded water bottle, cap, pen, notebook, pen, and a pack of branded sweets – all wrapped up in a Sunbelt Rentals branded box.

These onboarding packs deliver a professional unboxing experience and Sunbelt Rentals is really seeing the ripple effect of providing brand experiences like this. Their people are speaking about their great experiences, through friends and family and social connections everyone is hearing about how much their employer cares. It’s a perfect way to show employees that they’re valued and to create valuable brand ambassadors.

“Challenged us, brought innovative new products to our attention…and helped us grow the range – with Streamline as our Strategic Partner”

Dave Harris – Sales & Marketing Director

Durable clothing, happy employees

Another large part of the partnership is providing staff uniforms and workwear. Sunbelt Rentals has invested in a bespoke custom-made branded uniform using its brand colours and comfortable Cooltex fabric to ensure that every employee, even in the most challenging part of their role can feel safe and comfortable. In their offices, the team wears the company smart/casual uniform too – and it’s not unusual to see senior managers in a Sunbelt Rentals polo shirt or branded soft shell jacket.

An important step in the process was a staff clothing consultation. Streamline held collaborative workshops with representatives from all parts of the business to make sure everyone had the opportunity to ensure their specific requirements were understood and met. With ‘rails’ of branded samples the team had the opportunity to ensure that the company’s No. 1 asset (its people) was rightly portrayed in the new brand image. Coupled with this, employee satisfaction and comfort were always a priority as Sunbelt Rentals understands that its people are its future.

The uniform is consistent through 190 depots and their staff members throughout the UK, all ordered by managers at depot level online and delivered to that address to make it easy. A full range of quality products is available from corporate uniforms, Hi Vis & PPE with the speed of service ‘key’ due to the high-risk nature of the environments worked in.

Nurturing staff well-being with branded merchandise

Staff well-being is a big focus for the team at Sunbelt Rentals. With this in mind, one of their merchandise collections focuses on the specific well-being needs of their truck drivers and traffic management employees who spend their time out in the field, on the move. We worked closely with Sunbelt Rentals to create a collection of products to make their lives more comfortable choosing useful, functional, and hard-wearing products to delight their team. Branded products such as lunch bags, reusable water bottles, and handy eco-friendly bamboo cutlery are just some of the gifts aimed at this section of the workforce.

Engaging products when and where they are needed

A bespoke webstore is used by every Sunbelt Rentals branch and site managers to select the merchandise and uniform products they need – some from stock and others on a brand-to-order basis. This makes for easy ordering, cuts down on waste, and includes a reporting system providing all the necessary data to inform budget and buying decisions.

It’s a win-win; Sunbelt Rentals and Streamline are now working together to look at ways of extending the merchandise range further. The Sunbelt Rentals Team recognises the value of looking after their employee engagement and well-being. In the future, they are looking at investing in a range of merchandise for employee highlight moments such as work anniversaries and promotions, birthdays and births, and other life events that the Sunbelt brand can be part of.
