The MHM Group, UK supplier of solar hybrid equipment and generators, has announced that it will expand its operations into Scotland for the first time.
From its headquarters in Port Talbot, Wales, the company is now operational across nine locations, having most recently acquired a space near Glasgow to further expand on its offering.
MHM Group has grown drastically since its launch in 2010, from a small family business into an industry leading enterprise supplying power generation, fluid storage, site lighting, solar and hybrid technology and a range of product related accessories to the construction and plant hire sectors across the UK and Ireland.
Its new Scottish venture will be overseen by Scottish Regional Business Development Manager, Mike Grant, who is dedicated to providing a personal service to customers in the area.
Mike said: "I am delighted that the opportunity has arisen and this expansion into Scotland is only the beginning. We have big plans to continue the development of MHM's presence regionally and are hugely encouraged by the warm welcome we have already been given by the business community here."
As a business, MHM Group has also set ambitious targets to cut its own emissions and be carbon neutral by 2030. It also continues to develop its eco-friendly offering product-wise too, with more than 30% of equipment currently available being solar or hybrid-powered - a factor that has also greatly contributed to its growth.
The Group has also attended a range of events to raise the profile of its eco-friendly product offering too, including the Executive Hire Show where they achieved a record number of enquiries, as well as Scotland's biggest construction trade event, ScotPlant.
MHM Group's expansion has been led by Managing Director, Mat Llewellyn, who said: "We are thrilled to have a new depot in Scotland as part of our ambitious growth plans, and as we move forward, this additional space will allow MHM Group to increase capacity and enhance our service offering around the UK even further."
"As part of our comprehensive approach to a greener future, the depot will also be crucial in helping us reach other parts of Scotland more quickly with our Eco range – the hope being we can help reduce carbon footprint in the hire and construction sector regionally here too."
"We will also ensure that both our new equipment for sale and our hire fleet become even more sustainable, enabling us as to offer a wider range of solutions for eliminating harmful carbon emissions by the hire and construction sectors," Mat added.
"We're really excited to see the business continue to innovate and develop as we demonstrate to the industry our ever-growing efforts in eco-leadership."
As a new member of the Scottish Plant Owners Association (SPOA), a trade group with over 250 member organisations, the MHM Group will work with partners to network and deliver services across Scotland.
