CAMS Hire, a Guernsey-based construction equipment rental and support provider, has been acquired by GAP Hire Solutions.
The UK’s largest privately-owned plant, tools, and equipment rental provider will add CAMS Hire to 4Group, the Jersey-based operation purchased in 2018, creating a pan-Channel Islands equipment rental, training and logistics support offering.
"We are thrilled to move onto the next phase of our development," said Paddy Cunningham, Managing Director of CAMS Hire.
"We have created a great team at CAMS and the resources and experience now available to us with GAP and 4Group will help us achieve even more. After an initial period of settling in, we will be working with our customers to develop new product offerings and provide new solutions to some of our unique island challenges.
"GAP’s vision is to be the UK’s most innovative equipment rental provider, and this is what we have always aspired to locally as well."
In the near future, CAMS Hire will be re-branded to become 4hire.gg, "retaining its strong Guernsey identity" while working alongside 4Group.
Nigel Blandin, MD of 4Group said: "We have long wanted to offer a true inter-island solution and now is the perfect time. Many of our customers are working in both islands and having the 4hire.gg team onboard will offer a vast range of equipment and solutions with local knowledge and support.
"The commitment of GAP Group to our Channel Island business is fantastic. We have complete autonomy but can access the skills and experience of a family business dedicated to the highest levels of quality and service. Significantly, all local earnings stay local to re-invest in and develop 4Group."
