Lomond Plant says its bumper machinery order with local dealer Scot 乐播传媒 signals a renewal of confidence in the market.
The order comprises a mix of excavators, backhoes, telehandlers, dumpers and rollers to support Lomond Plant鈥檚 hire operations across the UK.
This investment follows what joint managing director Ross Easton described as the 鈥渂est start to the year since pre-covid鈥�.
He said: 鈥淭he market seems to be stabilising. Interest rates are coming down, and there are early signs of confidence returning to the construction sector. That means we can begin to plan for growth again. It鈥檚 much more predictable now than it鈥檚 been in the last three or four years. For a hire business like ours, that clarity is vital, we need to know what鈥檚 coming and what machines will be needed.鈥�
