Welcome to our AMG Plant Testing Mid-Year Update.

2026 has been our busiest year yet... and we're only halfway through!

As we reach the midpoint of the year, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on what has been an incredible six months for the AMG team and share some of the highlights with you.

Mid Year Lookback

January alone set the record the biggest month in AMG's history and we haven't looked back since.

Here's a snapshot of the last six months:

Over 11,000 inspections completed across the UK & Ireland

June Stats

June was another busy month for the AMG team 💪

✅ 2,996 inspections completed

✅ 2,729 items passed

❌ 267 items failed

🔗 476 new items of lifting gear supplied

From inspections to replacement lifting gear, our team continues to help businesses stay compliant, safe and operational across NI, Ireland and the UK.

Growing the Fleet

We're delighted to welcome a brand new AMG van to the fleet!

As demand for our inspection and supply services continues to grow across the UK & Ireland, expanding our fleet means we can serve more customers, reach more sites, and keep response times sharp.

It's a visible sign of where AMG is headed and there's plenty more to come!

A Milestone Year for Accreditation

We're delighted to share that AMG Plant Testing is now officially ISO 9001 & ISO 45001 Certified.

▪️ ISO 9001 reflects our commitment to quality management, consistent service delivery, and continual improvement.

▪️ ISO 45001 demonstrates our structured approach to occupational health & safety — protecting our team and our customers every day.

For our clients, this is your assurance that the way we operate meets the highest standards. A huge thank you to the team for the work behind the scenes to make this happen 👏

What we've been up to:

Bespoke Solutions

No two lifting requirements are the same and this year we've delivered some of our most specialist work yet.

Highlights include a custom Yoke offshore swivel hook rated to 26T, engineered for a specialist lifting application. If you have a unique lifting challenge, our team would love to help.

New: QR Code Inspections

We've introduced QR Code inspections powered by Corerfid Ltd., giving customers instant access to live certificates and inspection information, making compliance faster and simpler than ever.

New Site Signage

We've also launched new inspection signage to help customers manage colour coding, inspection dates, and equipment quarantining more effectively, keeping sites clear, compliant, and running smoothly.

Our Customers

It's been a privilege to support some brilliant teams across the UK & Ireland this year, including Creagh Concrete, AG Wilson Civil Engineering, Strain Engineering & Co Ltd, Morrow Contracts Limited, SDC Trailers Ltd, and Peter McCormack & Sons Limited.

Every inspection completed, every failed item replaced or repaired, all to keep your sites safe, compliant, and operational.

With the second half of the year now underway, this is one of our busiest periods for inspections. Schedules are filling up fast, so if your next inspection is due, don't leave it to the last minute.
