09/10/08 - Panther Continues Expansion with Higher Platforms

Following on from the acquisition of Higher Platforms in September 2007, Lavendon Access Services is pleased to announce the completion of its rebranding programme, with Higher Platforms becoming Panther on 1st October 2008. Higher Platforms has brought three successful and well established branches to the company: Panther Thirsk, Panther Basildon and Panther Cannock.

The addition of these depots and their fleet of over 450 machines - including the largest range of gas powered machines in Europe - takes the Panther total to 3600 units available from 13 depots, providing greater choice and wider UK coverage for customers. The branches have a very strong local reputation, and will retain their focus on close customer relationships, along with maintaining the same familiar teams of experienced staff.

Leigh Farmer, Panther Midlands & North Managing Director commented: “Since starting Higher Platforms in 1992, the company has supplied a unique range of powered access equipment from its strong regional branches; these established branches can now bring the benefits of Panther’s national experience to our staff, suppliers and customers and continue to supply a local, reliable powered access service.”

Panther Group Managing Director, Richard Miller added “Higher Platforms, along with Kestrel Powered Access and AMP Access, bring the new Panther structure to completion. Leigh Farmer has been appointed as Panther North & Midlands Managing Director, and will be working with the strong teams based at Panther Thirsk, Panther Haydock, Panther Lincoln, Panther Droitwich and the regional head office, Panther Cannock”
