This is Hewden’s first acquisition for more than 10 years. The price was not disclosed.

Hewden CEO Adrian Murphy said: “Like any successful business we are continuously evolving. Our goal has always been to develop and acquire complimentary businesses that have the best people and the best products to support our customers in the markets they operate.

“This acquisition acts as a testament to that and increases our capacity to offer industry leading specialist lifting products and services within our business.”
