Ardent adds to £2m Hitachi Construction Equipment investment for Christmas
Hitachi Construction Machinery (UK) has announced that Ardent hire solutions have invested a further two-million pounds in machinery in the final quarter of this year.
The deal, for twenty-five large machines takes the hire company’s fleet to more than 1,200 excavators. Despite the uncertainty around Brexit, Ardent has seen consistent growth in demand across its rental fleet.
Dave Roberts, CEO of Hitachi Construction Machinery (UK) Ltd. comments, “Ardent and Hitachi CMUK Ltd have enjoyed an excellent relationship for several years now, not least because of great product and aftersales support, but also due to the flexible approach both businesses have. This latest deal illustrates that perfectly, responding to a demand for more kit with relatively short notice. We thank Ardent for the continued business and look forward to the growing partnership in the New Year.”
Julian O’Neill, CFO of Ardent comments, “As part of our ongoing fleet investment programme, which this year will exceed 1,200 units, we always look for quality, value and a partnership approach. Hitachi (UK) have provided an excellent response throughout 2019, delivering over sixty machines in the second half of the year to meet the growing demand of our customers for robust, reliable excavators.”
