MKM’s initial order will see dealer TC Harrison JCB supply more than 80 JCB machines, along with a range of power tools, which will be available for hire at MKM branches in Norwich, Perth, Bromsgrove, Lincoln North, and Manchester Central.

Deliveries have begun on the order which includes micro excavators, mini excavators, tracked dumpsters, one-tonne site dumpers and hydraulic breakers.

Entering the hire market is a fantastic evolution for the business and we are delighted to be working in partnership with TC Harrison JCB.”
