Try acquires Turbo Plant


Try Group has bought Turbo Plant Hire for œ577,000 together with assumed debts of œ355,000. Turbo Plant, based in Crowthorne, Berkshire, will be integrated into the existing network of outlets run by Vine Plant, Try's plant hire subsidiary.

Turbo Plant made a pre-tax profit of œ55,000 in its last financial year (ending June 1994). The merger of Turbo with Vine Plant is not expected to result in any redundancies.

Peter Howell, Try chief executive, said: 'Turbo Plant has produced consistently good returns in recent years. Its asset base of quality plant and an attractive customer profile marks another step in our planned expansion.'
