“The acquisition not only expands our footprint across England, but also strengthens our position in the construction, infrastructure and retail markets, and grows the range of lifting services we can offer our customers.”
Jason Seddon, owner of APL, added: “Joining Centurion marks an exciting new chapter for APL. We’re proud of what we’ve built and look forward to growing our business as part of a group that shares our commitment to service, safety, and continuous improvement.”
