Flannery Plant Hire announces major fleet renewal and dispersal sale of heavy plant fleet
The Euro Auctions Group has been commissioned by Flannery Plant Hire to conduct a single-sourced dispersal sale of its heavy plant fleet, following its announcement of a £107 million investment in new machinery for 2025. Building on a £448 million investment over the past four years, Flannery Plant Hire has confirmed that it will undertake a major fleet renewal programme this spring.
The auction will take place at Flannery’s site on Sorby Road, Irlam, Manchester, M44 5BA, on Tuesday 10th March. This landmark event will bring to market one of the largest and most diverse selections of modern, well-maintained heavy plant equipment seen in the UK in recent years.
Martin Flannery, Managing Director at Flannery Plant Hire, said: “As the construction industry continues to grow, so does the demand for high-performance, reliable, and sustainable plant machinery. At Flannery, we are committed to staying ahead of industry needs by investing in the latest innovations.”
“Our investment reflects our dedication to providing our customers with a fleet that is not only versatile and innovative but also meets the highest standards of efficiency and sustainability.”
“This latest investment builds on our ongoing commitment to reinvesting in our fleet. Over the past four years, we have invested £448m in new machinery, ensuring our customers have access to the best equipment on the market.”
“To make way for these new machines we are utilising Euro Auctions’ trusted industry reputation and their standing as the largest machinery auctioneer in Europe to sell this equipment on our behalf and realise maximum asset value. We have a great relationship with Euro Auctions and know the professionalism of their team will make this a simple and easy process for us.”
