  3. Short Term vs Long Term Leasing

Radio Hire & Rental

Our radio hire service provides access to a wide range of handheld, mobile, and repeater-based systems, ready to use on delivery. We offer equipment for as little as one day or for long-term rentals, making it ideal for temporary worksites, festivals, emergency response operations, and seasonal campaigns.

Prop Hire

In addition to operational equipment, we offer non-functional or replica radios for use in visual productions, events, or training scenarios. These props offer the same look and feel as real devices, helping create authenticity without requiring full technical functionality.

  1. Choice of realistic radio models
  2. Functional or non-functional units
  3. Film & Industry use cases

Short vs. Long-Term Leasing

We provide options for both short-term rentals and long-term leasing arrangements:

  • Short-term hire is ideal for events, temporary projects, or seasonal demand.
  • Long-term leasing is suited for clients needing ongoing access to radios without the capital expense of purchasing.
  • Hiring vs Buying Comparison
  • Custom Packages by Industry

TESTIMONIALS

I contacted Ears as I had heard fab things about them. My requirement was a ‘bit out there’ and not really their market, but never-less they took the time to advise and point me in the right direction. It’s this sort of approach that brings a smile to faces and makes the world go round. Thank you so much Ears …. You were fab….. Annabelle

Thanks Siobhan and Danny for the quick install and great service you have provided us here in Peterborough. The set up was great and service was always outstanding from start to end. We look forward to keeping in contact for the yearly service and OFCOM licence renewal.

The London Taxi Drivers Charity for Children has great pleasure in awarding EARS Plc a 5 star review. For many years our Committee have been using their radio equipment for use on our outings and parties to ensure we can organise a smooth day out for the children. All the equipment they give us is cost free and we are most grateful for their continued help.

Siobhan, Maria and the team absolutely saved my ass after kit from another supplier went missing with a courier. They stayed late to prep, kept in contact throughout and arranged out of hours deliveries. Hugely appreciated and will definitely return. Highly recommended.

Ed Borgnis

Absolutely excellent company. I had no idea what I was buying and after a few emails with Siobhan my order was in. The radios came in super quick time and within my budget. Everything was easy to use and set up was simple. There was no unnecessary plastic packaging either.
Would highly recommend and will 100% be using in the future for all my communication needs.

Zoe Sparkle

We used Ears to help set up a radio system on the river Thames to support our rowing team and keep communication between our coaches. The radios and service from ears have been great and they continue to support us with anything we need.

Jamie Kirkwood

We have been using Ears for around 20 years and they have never let us down. They offer extremely reliable products and the Ears team are always helpful and always go the extra mile. All in all a very reliable company and would definitely recommend them.

I have used Ears plc for nearly 20 years for my communication requirements. I have always found the staff incredibly helpful and professional. I have known Danny during my association with Ears and he has always been able to assist me in whatever I ask him to do. I would recommend EARS plc to anyone else in the security industry. Ray Wade

As part of a last minute job we required comms for a close protection team going live yesterday. Contacted Ears, spoke to Siobhan, who guided me on a suitable product and we collected next day. Top quality service’

I have used EARs for many years at both companies I have worked at, they are very professional and always wiling to help in any way. The staff are always freindly and with a knowledge. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs communication needs.

Jeffrey Ritterband

Hired radios from Ears for a large rooftop event in central London.
I couldn’t fault the service I received and the radios worked perfectly as security used them throughout the night coordinating between the rooftop and the ground floor.
Will 100% use again.
Thanks guys
