A plant hire firm based in North Wales has secured a £100m funding package to support an ambitious expansion. RSM UK’s debt advisory team has helped Thomas Plant Hire Limited secure the funding package from HSBC, NatWest and Barclays.
Established in 2000, the company is a leading plant hire and groundwork operations business, working with UK contractors to supply plant and equipment for government-led infrastructure projects. The Holywell based business also works with housing developers nationwide with 140 staff employed to support customers across the UK from eight depots including South Wales, Birmingham, and Bolton.
In securing the funding package, the company, owned by CEO Wyn Thomas, will be able to drive forward with its next phase of growth, which includes improving efficiency and increasing the flexibility in the financing structure, and financing its capital expenditure programme. It comes in response to significant demand to help grow UK infrastructure services and retain jobs.
