FGS Plant Update Two New Acquisitions for FGS Plant

It’s been a very busy few months for the team at FGS Plant, with several new acquisitions under their belt, Coventry based Clements Plant & Access Hire and Dorset based Hire Access Platforms. Moving forward, the principal goal is to build a Plant Equipment and Access Hire Group that offers first class customer service which can operate across the UK. There will be continued investment in the best equipment to make sure that we are able to meet with the growing customer base across Coventry, Warwickshire, and the Midlands.

The Clements deal was completed on 31st March resulting in the Chairman and majority shareholder Jim Longstaff leaving the company. Current Managing Director, Adrian Hutchinson will remain along with the rest of the team.

I believe that FGS are an excellent fit for Clements and the fact that Stuart wished to keep the team together was a fundamental factor in the decision to take advantage of their approach Commented Longstaff.

“We are very impressed with the way the business is run,” stated Stuart Willy “We see huge synergies and shared values which will benefit both teams. We are especially excited by their bespoke created digital Tee-card system, which was a factor in helping them win the 2022 Executive Hire Show Independent Passionate Hirer of the Year award. Our intention is to implement this throughout our Plant division in the coming months, with the whole Group plant divisions working closely for the benefit of the teams and its customers.” He added.

“The Heathcote Group is an extremely strong multi-disciplined business, which will provide excellent support for Clements to grow and thrive as well as potential progression opportunities for the team” said Clements Director Adrian Hutchinson.

There are exciting times ahead for FGS Plant, wishing all the best of luck with this new venture.
