Dealmakers: Building on family values

Fox Group’s latest big move is another ground breaking deal intended to strengthen its position as the North West’s leading haulage, earthwork and plant hire specialist.

The Blackpool based business’ acquisition of long-established Blackledge Plant Hire further increases its size and capacity, creating a group with a combined turnover of in excess of £85m.

And the family company’s buy and build strategy shows no signs of running out of steam, with managing director Paul Fox declaring: “We will consider any opportunities that we think are a good fit and will make us stronger.”
