MEMBERSHIP NEWS 40 Summer 2022 The MHM Group has expanded its operations into Scotland for the first time. From its headquarters in Port Talbot, Wales, the company is now operational across nine locations, having most recently acquired a space near Glasgow. Since its launch in 2010, the group has grown from a small family business into an industry-leading enterprise supplying power generation, fluid storage, site lighting, solar and hybrid technology and a range of product-related accessories to the construction and plant hire sectors across the UK and Ireland. Its new Scottish venture will be overseen by Scottish Regional Business Development Manager, Mike Grant who said: “We have big plans to continue the development of MHM’s presence regionally and are hugely encouraged by the warm welcome we have already been given by the business community here.” More than 30% of equipment currently available from MHM is now solar or hybrid and the group has attended a range of events to raise the profile of its eco-friendly product offering, including the Executive Hire Show where it achieved a record number of enquiries, and Scotland’s biggest construction trade event, ScotPlant. Managing Director Mat Llewellyn said: “We are thrilled to have a new depot in Scotland as part of our ambitious growth plans, and as we move forward, this additional space will allow MHM Group to increase capacity and enhance our service offering around the UK even further.” He said the depot will also be crucial in helping reach other parts of Scotland more quickly with its Eco range. “We’re really excited to see the business continue to innovate and develop as we demonstrate to the industry our ever-growing efforts in eco-leadership” GROUP OPENS FIRST DEPOT IN SCOTLAND 15M AND 17M LOW WEIGHT ALL ELECTRIC BOOMS LAUNCHED Niftylift has launched two new low-weight all-electric booms, the HeightRider 15E (HR15E) and HeightRider 17E (HR17E), which will lift two people and their tools to working heights of 15.7m and 17.2m, respectively, or a working outreach of 9.4m.
