Head of Midas sales, David Cooper, recalls that Ampco was one of only six companies in the world who liked the concept of the Heritage 3000 so much that they ordered two consoles purely on spec before they had even seen a prototype. According to Ampco Pro Rent managing director Fred Heuves, the investment has more than paid for itself. "We were the first people in Europe to offer our customers a console that has since become an industry-standard, so we have been reaping the benefits since the very beginning. There is also the fact that is one of the most frequently requested consoles to appear on riders, and as a facilities company we have to listen to our market and be able to fulfil their demands."
