Morris Leslie buys Harborough Hire Centre

At the start of the year I forecast that we would see a number of acquisitions in 2023 as hirers see opportunities for growth. 

The latest is that Morris Leslie Plant Hire has bought the assets and business of Harborough Hire Centre based in Market Harborough.

The acquisition increases Morris Leslie’s presence in the Leicestershire area and throughout the East Midlands, and brings its nationwide depot network to a total of 15.

Harborough Hire Centre was founded in 1987 and its plant fleet includes excavators, dumpers, forklifts, rollers, scissor and boom lifts plus attachments. All staff will be transferring across to the Morris Leslie business.
