AFI chairman David Shipman said: “We are delighted to welcome Matt and Chris to the board during this exciting period of AFI’s development. Following on from the appointments of Pete Wajner and Steve Williams last year, their appointments reflect the opportunities that continue to arise for all members of our team as our business successfully grows.”

During 2013 AFI posted a 50 percent growth in its business, following an £85 million refinancing that led to the simultaneous acquisitions of Hi-Reach and Wilson Access Hire in the UK and Access Rental Gulf in the Middle East.
