Plantforce Rentals acquires assets and takes on staff from Hawk Plant (UK) Limited at the Hinkley Point C project

Plantforce, which has worked alongside Hawk for the past four years, will take on all of Hawks’ site-based machinery, contracts and infrastructure, securing the employment of over 100 full-time plant operators based in the South West with immediate effect. Plantforce CEO Claire Trott will lead the transition of Hawk’s assets and staff to Plantforce, with minimal impact on the Hickley C project. Claire Trott commented: “Hickley C is a strategically significant project and we are pleased that this deal will minimise impact for suppliers and customers and ensure continued work for 100 employees at the site. “Plantforce’s involvement in the project for the last four years provides us with deep insight into the strategic priorities and operations of the site. We are looking forward to getting straight to work.” The sale was agreed by Sam Woodward at EY. Peter Carney and Alastair Lomax from TLT acted as legal advisors for Plantforce. Sam Woodward said: “I’m delighted to be able to complete this transaction and secure the ongoing employment for Hawk employees in such a short timeframe. I wish Plantforce every success as they continue to support the development of this major infrastructure project.”
