FLG is on the move

FLG Services, the UK’s largest dedicated lifting and safety provider, has invested in a new super-size service centre at Hillington Park.

The new premises have opened in Earl Haig Road, replacing FLG Services’ two previous locations in the park.

The service centre becomes FLG’s largest service centre in the UK and includes Interlift, which was integrated into the business earlier this year.

FLG Services operates 24 service centres across the UK and offers a full range of lifting and safety equipment for hire or purchase alongside specialist testing, service, inspection, repair and design capabilities.

FLG Services is a specialist division of A-Plant, which forms part of FTSE 100 company Ashtead Group plc and is the UK’s largest equipment rental company with over 185 service centres nationwide, more than 3,600 employees and over 35,000 customers in the construction, industrial, infrastructure and events sectors.

Graeme Cooper, the firm’s national technical and operations manager, said:“We are delighted to be opening a new service centre at Hillington Park.

“By integrating the two smaller premises into one site, we are combining our expertise and equipment to provide a one-stop shop for our customers. The new location enables us to hold a larger amount of equipment, including specialist lifting beams.

“As demand for lifting services has grown in Scotland, we have grown accordingly offering a wide range of products from life-saving defibrillators to our popular Genie lifts.”

Grant Edmondson, commercial director at Hillington Park, added: “Hillington Park is Renfrewshire’s main trading estate for building products and construction services.

“In such an established market place it’s no surprise that FLG chose larger premises in the park to expand its local operations.

“We were delighted to conclude the letting and retain FLG’s business for the longer term.”
