Finning and Flannery Plant Hire agree £65 million machinery deal

Flannery and Finning deal

FINNING UK & Ireland has secured a bumper deal to supply Flannery Plant Hire with £65 million of Cat machinery this year.

Over the past four years, Finning has supplied Flannery with over £250 million worth of equipment. The latest investment includes 100 excavators, 70 bulldozers, 86 ADTs, and 20 rollers.

Patrick Flannery, MD at Flannery Plant Hire, said, “As a result of the growth in the industry we are seeing increasing demands for efficient, sustainable and reliable plant machinery that can service the breadth of the industry. The Cat XE models in particular have shown us a significant return on investment; not only are they hard-working machines, but they are incredibly efficient, saving up to 35% on fuel compared to other models.

“We are committed to achieving our sustainability goals and having machines with lower fuel consumption helps us reduce our carbon footprint as well as save money in the long-term. We know from our relationship with Finning that Cat machines are more than capable of tackling the challenges of modern construction. We service the whole industry and need machines to be robust for work in a variety of heavy-duty applications.

“Our recent investment shows our commitment to servicing the industry with versatile and innovative plant hire options but also represents our assurance to customers that we will continue to provide efficient and sustainable machines to suit their needs.”

As the government invests in large-scale infrastructure projects and housing developments, Finning said access to a variety of plant equipment is integral to the industry’s success this year.

Rory Gregory, key account manager at Finning UK & Ireland, said, “It is vital companies keep up with industry demand and Flannery have a long history of providing a reliable, efficient and robust selection of Cat machinery for their customers. Along with the machines themselves, which were delivered with comprehensive technology to increase efficiency, we are providing full service and warranty packages to safeguard Flannery’s investment long-term.

“We are thrilled to not only have the opportunity to continue to work with Flannery but to provide them with such a significant investment to help continue their legacy for many years to come.”
