Britcab Acquires KC Hire Group
Britcab are pleased to announce the asset purchase of KC Hire Group.
Specialising in luxury toilets, portable site toilets, and welfare units, KC Hire has built a strong reputation across the North of England for quality and service.
The company will be rebranded and will operate as:
KC Hire & Events Ltd – Part of the Britcab Group
The acquisition includes:
• 400 portable site toilets
• 35 luxury toilet trailers
• 30 towable welfare units
• Trailers, tankers, and ancillary items
• And much more
Chris Barnacle, who has many years of experience in the construction industry and most recently served as Sales Manager at Dexter Watson Ltd, has been appointed to run the business.
Britcab Managing Director Richard Wilsdon commented:
“We are delighted to acquire the assets of KC Hire and look forward to expanding into the luxury toilet hire and events market.
Having worked with founders Ken and Kate Cowton for many years, this acquisition brings a natural synergy between the two businesses and we are proud to become custodians of this local family firm.
The acquisition enables us to broaden our product offering, diversify into new and exciting markets and bring tank emptying services ‘in-house’ in the North of the country.
With KC’s existing order book and loyal customer base, alongside Britcab’s portable cabin clients and Chris’s construction contacts, we are confident we can make the company a success—while enjoying the journey along the way.
We are proud to continue to ‘buck the trend’ in challenging market conditions and to provide employment for skilled local people.”
KC Hire & Events will continue to operate from its base in Sowerby, just north of York. All enquiries should be directed to:
