HIRE specialist Plantforce has announced a new depot opening as part of the firm’s northern expansion plan.
The new location in Bury, north east of Manchester, has been tipped to see Plantforce ‘reinforce’ its position as a national Tier 1 plant hire supplier.
The site will offer both self-drive and operated plant and machinery from the company’s products including excavators, ADTs, dozers and compaction equipment. Solutions and services from Plantforce’s specialist divisions will also be available in the area.
With machinery such as crushers, screeners, hydraulic and mechanical attachments, compact plant and equipment and services from the long-established digital division offering a range of machine control solutions, Plantforce explained that contractors in the region now have a large array of ‘modern and high-spec’ machinery to draw on.
Building north from its established location in Stratford-upon-Avon, Plantofrce added that delivering the highest levels of customer service is a key driver for the northern expansion plan.
The company said it understands having a local depot is a key part of being able to deliver the high levels of service customers demand. Plantforce plans to continue its ESG agenda in the Bury location by encouraging staff to complete charitable acts and activities using their annual paid volunteer day to make a difference in the communities in which they operate. This model has been successful in the firm’s other six depots.
Plantforce MD Claire Trott said, “Opening a new depot in Bury is an exciting development that will give us a real foothold to expand our growth in the north west of the country. This region is a key part of our growth strategy and with large infrastructure projects in addition to the ongoing regeneration works, we are committed to improving the service we provide to our large base of customers in the area.”
