GGH Hire has taken delivery of the first of 150 compact excavators as part of a multi-million pound investment, following its recent acquisition by St Albans-based Herts Tool Company. The purchase, through local dealer Boss Plant Sales, includes a range of mini and midi excavator models, from the sub-1-tonne KX008-5 through to the 8.5-tonne KX085-5, Kubota鈥檚 largest model.
While 100 of the machines are for a complete fleet replacement within the company鈥檚 offering, the remaining 50 excavators represent investment in growth to meet rising demand.
Enfield-based GGH Hire was acquired by Herts Tool Company in December 2025. Both businesses will continue to operate separately, with David Shallow assuming full responsibility for the Enfield operation, while former owner Gerry Gardiner remains involved.
