Frans Collé 1946-2025

We received sad news today that the Dutch access and equipment rental man Frans Collé, the face of Collé Rental & Sales for many years, has died.
We understand that he passed away on Friday evening having suffered from ill health for some time, he was 78.
Frans Collé

Frans was the third generation to run the 125 year old family business, which has been owned and managed by his son Frits since 2005. In addition to the business Frans had a passion for motorsport which he supported personally and financially. A minutes silence was observed on the local track today in his honour.

We hope to provide a proper tribute to a man who played such a key role in building a substantial sales and rental company in the access and telehandler market. Hopefully in the next few days.
