Upright passes operations control to US


UpRight UK's shareholders have agreed to pass day-to-day control of ongoing operations to UpRight Inc, its American parent company.

The move aims to remove what the firms see as an unnecessary tier of bureaucracy between manufacturer and purchaser.

It also brings the distribution of UpRight's machines in the UK in line with its activities throughout Europe.

Pam Penny, global marketing services director, said the move is designed to make it easier for international rental companies to source machines in the same way across the continent. She added that the move is separate from UpRight Inc's ongoing US Chapter 11 proceedings (CJ, 20 June) and most UK customers would notice little change.
