Helium users, take note — prices are finally coming down!
Thanks to a revolutionary new gas rental system developed by Gary’s talented web team, we’re now able to offer better pricing across the board. This cutting-edge platform allows us to track and trace every helium cylinder in real time, with automatic monthly rental billing. That means no more manual paperwork, no more chasing returns, and no more time lost to admin.
By eliminating inefficiencies and streamlining the entire rental process, the system is delivering significant cost savings — and we’re proud to be passing those savings directly on to our customers.
It’s a win–win: lower prices for you, and a smarter, more sustainable system for everyone.
Watch this space — the future of gas rental is here. Pm for more details!!
