Big Thwaites dumper deal announced with CP Hire

Major Northern Ireland hirer CP Hire has announced a significant fleet deal with Thwaites Irish distributor TBF Thompson.

Established in 1971 and family owned to this day, the business operates from seven depots throughout the country and this year is proudly celebrating its 55th anniversary.

The 34-machine deal was announced on the stand at HIREland, Irelands plant, tool and powered access show, at the National Show Centre in Dublin (Mar 26th). 

The mix of these hirers’ favourite dumpers will continue to improve uptime and deliver value to CP Hire customers, clients and operators. Earlier this year the company further invested in Thwaites 9-ton & 6-ton cabbed dumpers, protecting the welfare and safety of their employees and customers.

Speaking from the stand at HIREland, Managing Director Andrew Hutchinson said, “We have a long-standing, strong relationship with Thwaites. Our customers appreciate the safety, quality and robustness of a Thwaites dumper. Our service engineers appreciate their ease of maintenance and the business appreciates the return and retained value when it’s time to refresh. That’s why we choose Thwaites.”

Thwaites Distributor Manager Will Redman commented, “I would like to thank Andrew and his team for their continued support and TBF Thompson for their work in concluding the sale. This deal gives further indication and evidence of a growing Irish economy; I look forward to ensuring that Thwaites are best positioned to support hirers and contractors across the island of Ireland.”
