EC120 / Jet Ranger self fly hire in the uk

Hi All

Having had my PPL(H) for nearly three years now I am keen to type convert and get some turbine time on my licence. Ideally I would like this to be on the EC120 but if not perhaps the jet ranger. However question is this. Assuming successful conversion is there anywhere in the UK that will allow me to self fly hire either of these aircraft?? Conversations with people who have done their jet ranger conversion seem to indicate not. Obviously not worth converting on to an aircraft you can't stay current on without a safety pilot. Would also be interested in recommendations as to where to do an EC120 conversion. My current school runs an EC120 but not for PPL even when training.

All help/ recommendations gratefully received.
