Fox Group Equipment Sales has announced a strategic alliance with the Chinese plant manufacturer LiuGong to develop its sales in the UK.

It says its current network extends from the Midlands to the south coast, with additional regions to be added from January 2024 to comprise seven bespoke service centres. 

Fox Group Equipment Sales is part of the Blackpool-based Fox Group of construction and hire related businesses, which include Cotswold Roller Hire (CRH) and B&W Plant Hire.

Ged Fitzsimmons has been appointed as Managing Director of the new business, having previously worked with Volvo Construction Equipment and Liebherr. 

The LiuGong range includes compact excavators from 1.9 to 9 tonne, excavators from 13 to 100 tonne, wheeled loaders from 12 to 35 tonne, tracked dozers and aerial work platforms. 

Pictured signing the deal are Steven Ford, MD of LiuGong UK (seated left) and Paul Fox, CEO of Fox Group, with other senior personnel from the two companies.
