UK based Advanced Access Platforms has acquired Swindon based Tiger Plant in an all cash purchase deal, from owners Stuart Morgan and Andrew Rohrer. Founded in 2016, the company is a general rental company with a fleet in the region of 140 units including telehandlers up to 17 metres, forklifts a few booms and scissor lifts, along with excavators, rollers and dumpers.
The deal takes the Advanced Access operational and training locations to seven, across the English Southern England and the South Midlands. Tiger Plant will continue to operate as a standalone entity with its own management team, including managing director Shane Sherbourne, who joins the company following a year in a similar role with McGovern Plant Hire, and operations manager Tom Green who has been with Tiger for more than two years.
