Eagle Plant Celebrate 50 years with Gold Kubota
By way of celebrating 50 years in the plant hire business, Eagle Plant have taken delivery of a Kubota midi excavator in a stunning gold livery.
Especially well known in the South West, Eagle Plant, that was first established in 1975 on the site of an old brewery in Chard, Somerset, now has no less than 30 branches across the UK from as far north as Manchester, to London, and right down to Redruth in Cornwall.
The company was taken over in 1994 by Michael Grimoldby and his (late) wife Vivien and working as a team they pushed the business on to what it has become today, employing over 250 employees and expanding into not only plant, but small tools and accommodation hire.

The gold Kubota KX085-5 which has been supplied by C.C.E Plant Sales, and a matching gold coloured accommodation cabin will be making an appearance at the St. Stithians Show in Cornwall as well as the Mid Devon Show in Tiverton before being made available to hire.
So, there is a great opportunity to be part of this milestone celebration by hiring one of these very special pieces of equipment in the future.
