FTH Hire Group has announced the successful acquisition of Lanarkshire-based Arvill Plant & Tool Hire.

Arvill has been a family-run business since it was founded by Arthur Shevill in 1985 and remains so today. Now with 23 staff, they boast a high quality and well-maintained fleet of plant, tools, access, survey and landscaping equipment in line with FTH's 'Quality Equipment, Always In Stock' ethos. Like FTH, the customer's hire experience is at the centre of everything with high levels of service, on time delivery and aftercare provided to customers and projects throughout Scotland.


Gerry Marsh, Acquisitions & Development Director at FTH Hire Group, said: "Arvill share many of the same values as FTH - a strong, family-orientated business with many years of experience, supporting local customers but with the ambition, capacity and operational strength to support the wider geographic region.

"The opportunity to expand our UK operation into Scotland allows Arvill to continue providing a second-to-none hire service. Our experience of acquiring similar businesses, combined with investment into new equipment and other key areas of the business means there are exciting times ahead for all parties involved in this acquisition."

Further locations and expansion of FTH's Hire Hub network are planned for later this year.
