South West Forklifts are delighted to announce that we have been acquired by Bennie Equipment, part of the BENNIE family of companies.

Bennie Equipment as an award winning and leading MHE provider in the Midlands continues a strategy of rapid growth through acquisitions, maintaining rapid momentum following their recent acquisition of 4k Systems Ltd in January 24.

Bennie struck a deal with Lee Hawkins, Managing Director of SWF early this year, who was looking for a partner to help grow the business to the next level, and Bennie were looking to continue our reach into the South West.

As a top 5 Bobcat Doosan dealer in the UK with growth ambitions, Bennie is on a mission to grow its MHE presence across the UK and the acquisition of South West Forklifts solidifies the second milestone in this journey.

‌Given the huge synergies of both businesses it is very much business as usual as the partnership gets underway. However, over the next couple of months you will start to notice some of the BENNIE branding augmenting our own.

We look forward to continuing to deliver exceptional MHE solutions and continue to provide our customers with award winning services.
