Lifting heavy haulage that ’ s predominantly used to service our own equipment , but we can offer rentals that way as well .
“ As part of our crane hire service , we work with the crane operators to provide a full , bespoke contract lifting service . We manage the whole operation from start to finish and provide all the relevant documentation to support the lifting process . In the plant and mechanical movement part of the business , we install the plant units ourselves . We work with manufacturing machines and large presses , any type of equipment that requires a specialist touch .
“ Geographically speaking , the company is split into UK and European divisions . Our European operation is run out of our Dublin offices , but we trade all throughout Europe , including lots of major partnerships in Germany , Switzerland , and Holland . Most of our work over there is to do with installing data centres , which is a market that we ’ ve seen significant growth in over the past couple of years .
“ The company has grown significantly through organic growth , diversification , and expansion into new regions . We now employ around 300 people , with a turnover of around £ 55 million . That ’ s a pretty significant increase , especially when you consider our turnover in 2000 was around £ 16 million . We ’ ve experienced rapid growth since 2014 , following a strategic restructuring and optimisation of day-to-day business practices .”
