“We are delighted to have placed this latest order with JCB which demonstrates our commitment to working with brand leaders. It is part of our continual fleet investment programme which has seen A-Plant invest £300m during the last two years.

“Among the 1,300 pieces of new equipment, we will be supplying 162 generators into A-Plant’s rapidly expanding Mather+Stuart Power Solutions division. Customers tell us that their number one priority is reliability closely followed by availability and quality, so it is vital that we continue to meet these key requirements.”
