Flannery Plant Hire was built on ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½, when Pat Flannery started out with a 3C backhoe loader in 1972. Now run by his sons Martin, Patrick Jnr and Paul, the Flannery fleet today has more than 6,500 machines.
For delivery throughout 2025, Flannery has placed a £22m order through machinery dealer Greenshields ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ for 220 new machines. These include Loadall telescopic handlers, X Series tracked excavators, site dumpers, mini excavators and 3CX backhoe loaders. The fleet will be delivered throughout 2025 to work on major national infrastructure projects.
Managing director Patrick Flannery said: “Our customers continue to be delighted with the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ range and we will continue to invest in the finest quality, innovative equipment available. We are particularly interested in ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½â€™s development of hydrogen powered machines and we plan to take the first hydrogen 3CX from ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½â€�.
ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ global major accounts director Steve Fox said: “We are proud of our longstanding business partnership with Flannery Plant Hire, especially as Pat Snr started the business with just a 3C backhoe. The Flannery family should be very proud of their successful and forward-thinking business.â€�
