UK-based Lifting Gear Hire (LGH) is to acquire Burgess Group’s Lifting and Testing division. LGH said the acquisition was part of a commitment to further grow its business as an independent specialist lifting engineer “devoted to the hire, sales and service of lifting equipment with true nationwide branch coverage”.
Burgess’ Lifting Division is in Dover, UK and will become part of LGH’s nationwide network of 34 branches. LGH said its engineers had been trained by the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association, “and the Division’s core business has focussed primarily on providing a full inspection, maintenance, repair and equipment certification service, plus sales and hire of lifting equipment”.
