News JPS acquired by UK Hire Group
JPS, a leading provider of plant and tool hire, powered access and tower solutions, has been acquired by UK Hire Group, as part of new plans for the company that will see it continue to grow and implement new products under its two divisions – JPS Group Services and JPS Platforms. Founded in 2014 by John Young and Sandra Clarke, JPS
operates across London and the South East and has recently been named one of the top 30 powered access companies in the UK by Cranes and Access magazine as part of its annual survey. Speaking of the move, UK Hire Group Chief Executive
Adam Hems said: “Our plan is to maintain the strong customer service that has enabled the impressive growth to date, whilst progressing with a strong technical focus. New innovative products will be introduced soon in order to offer products and services that make the jobs of our customers safer, more productive and more efficient. “We also want to continue growing our team. The people
within JPS are who make the company what it is today. We want to maintain our strong culture but also continue to attract the best people. We are currently in the process of creating training programmes for those at every level and every role to ensure that progression and career opportunities are front and centre. “The acquisition has presented a brand new and exciting opportunity for JPS as it continues to solidify its place as the
leading plant and tool hire company within the UK.” UK Hire Group has already invested in new equipment, including its largest
scissor lift to date, and has hired Shane Walker who will act as the general manager of JPS Group Services. John Young, Founder and Director of JPS added: “Myself and Adam both shared ambitions to build a modern, technically- focussed hire business and after the Coronavirus pandemic shifted the way in which large projects are undertaken, the acquisition felt right. JPS is in a strong position to supply our contractors across Essex, London and the South East and continue its expansion.”
