Top 20 Plant Hirers 2011
The Top 20 Plant Hirers league table also presents a more stable picture, with a marginal increase in overall revenue. Aggreko continues to blaze a trail at the top, returning a remarkable 25% margin on its £1.2bn turnover. There was still plenty of red ink on the balance sheet though – notably for Speedy, Harsco, Hewden Stuart, and Hydrex.
