R.K.P Under Bridge Access

RKP Access Platforms was formed in May 2011 by Paul Hunwick, son of the late Ronald Hunwick and brother of the late Keith Hunwick, founders of E.S. Access Platforms. E.S. Access was one of the leading access solution providers in the UK and was solely controlled by the family until 2008. Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances E.S. Access entered into administration two years after Keith passed away in 2008.

During the administration process Paul, his nephews Ian, Lee, Dean and his son James had to watch as 30 years of their family's hard work left Shadon Way in Birtley. The machines were selling for less than they were worth and Paul knew this. He decided that the only thing that could keep the spirit of the family alive was to save a small part of what was left. He purchased five of the remaining machines with the plan of beginning his own access company. Machines ranging from 12.5 to 22 metres would be the starting point for the yet to be named company.
