Comment from George Wheeler, Managing Director, Ace Plant Ltd<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a divisional purchase. We have acquired the hire division and brand title of Electric Wheels. Why? To expand our electric offering. Electric Wheels are stepping away from the hire market, and we\u2019re stepping in. This is part of our strategy to grow our market share. And we have the ambition to acquire a larger portion of that market.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAs with all Ace Plant offerings, we deliver a first<\/em>\u2011<\/em>class service, both to existing Electric Wheels customers and as a major player in the EV market. We believe we\u2019re the only EV hire company that can do what we do. Unlike standard practice in the hire sector, we cross<\/em>\u2011<\/em>hire very little, with 95% of our hire vehicles being from our own fleet, being owned outright. With Ace Plant we do operate a UK wide service, however within a 60<\/em>\u2011<\/em>mile radius of our Silverstone HQ, we aim to be the best hire solutions provider, ensuring swift response and personalised service.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe like to think we are safer, greener, and more sustainable than many of the hire companies out there as this is our ethos and what sets us aside from our competitors. We\u2019re the guys to call when you want exactly what a hire supplier should deliver.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

A Tailored Hire Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n

If we don\u2019t have what you need, we will find it\u2014such is our service mantra to our customers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
