The grass plainly doesn't have much time to grow under the feet of the FTH Group acquisition team. Its purchase of Phoenix Hire and Sales was confirmed just yesterday, and now the emergent business has snapped up Worthing-based Rabbit & Dowling Plant Hire and Rabbit & Dowling Toilet Hire.
The move extends FTH's footprint across Sussex, Berkshire, Surrey, Hampshire, Kent and Essex and takes its number of Hire Hubs to 19 across England, Wales and Scotland.
“The Rabbit & Dowling Plant Hire division has range of high quality and well maintained excavators, dumpers, rollers and telehandlers which fit seamlessly with our ‘Quality Equipment’ ethos and our current plant fleet, which is one of the youngest in the UK,” explained Acquisitions & Development Director Gerry Marsh.
“As an independent company with a strong local focus, Rabbit & Dowling have built strong relationships with their customers through a friendly and professional approach, and they will continue to do so as part of the FTH Hire Group. With our range of plant, in addition to tools, access, landscaping and survey items, we can now provide them with an enviable choice of equipment to hire. Our depots across the South East, Scotland and Wales can support them when their work takes them across the country.”
While Steve Charman, Managing Director of Rabbit & Dowling Plant Hire added: “This is an exciting time to be joining FTH Hire Group on their journey towards becoming the leading independent plant and tool hire partner in the UK. Their commitment to providing a first-class hire experience and relentless investment in their hire fleet and across the business as a whole will benefit our customers hugely.”
