COMMERCIAL PROPERTY ROARING TRADE FOR SWINDON’S TIGER PLANT At any one time there are many building and construction projects taking place across Swindon and Wiltshire. All require heavy plant to excavate, move pallets and material around a site effi ciently and quickly. That plant can travel a long way and be needed for many weeks while groundwork is taking place. Often it can break down and be out of action for days. Tiger Plant, which has its offi ce in Swindon and a storage facility in North Wiltshire, has seen its workload increase dramatically in the last two months as companies recognise that they offer a variety of plant which is well maintained. The team can also source trained operators when required. Currently they have plant hired out to a range of housebuilding sites in and around Swindon as well as a large forklift being used to move palletised materials on a well- known construction site in the Dorcan area of Swindon. 32 THE BUSINESS EXCHANGE 2017 In October the team have been asked to help prepare for a mystery event of international interest due to take place at Cotswold Airport. This project is still under wraps but will involve Tiger Plant supplying both plant and trained operators to complete a complex task. Andy Rohrer, co-founder of Tiger Plant, said: “It’s been a busy few months and the word is starting to circulate that we are here and able to offer a good service with a wide range of plant available from diggers to forklifts to dumpers. We are fi nding that both commercial clients are using our services as we will offer very good rates for longer term hire – but also domestic customers are hiring our smaller plant for weekends for home and garden improvement projects.” Tiger Plant is run by businessmen Andy and business partner Stuart Morgan who have worked together for six years previously in construction and property development. The range of plant they can offer includes micro-diggers, a selection of midi- diggers and large diggers up to 20 tons. They can also supply telescopic and masted forklifts, dumper trucks, fuel bowsers and compaction machines.
