Essex-based temporary power provider Templant - as featured in our March/April 2025 edition - has been acquired by Camfaud Group, the UK’s largest concrete pumping company and part of Concrete Pumping Holdings Inc, headquartered in Denver, USA.
The acquisition marks a major step in Templant’s growth, bringing further investment in rental fleet, transport and service capability, alongside the development of a multi-depot network across the UK. Looking ahead, Templant aims to establish itself as the first choice for critical temporary power nationwide.
Led by Chris Allen, Managing Director, and Accounts Director Zoe Allen, Templant has more than three decades of industry experience. Based in Essex. the company supports customers across a wide range of industries with both planned and emergency power requirements.
Templant's rental fleet features more than 250 generators ranging from 20 kVA to 1250 kVA, alongside distribution boards, cable, fuel tanks, battery energy storage systems and load banks. Backed by over 35 qualified personnel including, engineers, electricians, drivers and office staff, as well as a fleet of service vans and delivery vehicles, the company provides a complete service from design, installations and logistics service.
As part of its national expansion plans, Templant will make use of existing Camfaud Group depots across the United Kingdom. The business also plans to strengthen its vehicle fleet with additional service vans and HGVs positioned across these depots to improve service support and response times. Investment in people will be a vital part of this growth, with new roles being created to strengthen capacity across the expanding depot network.
Following recent projects and tenders with Tier 1 contractors and major utility companies, Templant has seen growing demand for more sustainable temporary power solutions. With the support of Camfaud Group, the business plans to significantly expand its Stage V generator and battery energy storage system fleet, strengthening its ability to support more large-scale customers requiring lower-emission technology and environmental standards.
“I am excited about the opportunity to expand the group’s offering with Templant into a multi-depot business. It puts us in a strong position to support and deliver larger projects while maintaining our high standards of service,” said Templant MD Chris Allen.
While Camfaud Group Managing Director added: “Templant has built a strong reputation in the temporary power sector.This acquisition reflects our confidence in the team and brand behind Templant. We are pleased to support the business as it continues to grow.”
