Hopefully the Briggs deal with Yale will work, Barloworld have lost a good amount of credibility over the past years with the many internal changes, a not well recieve brand change from Barlow Handling and a missed opportunity to maximise the demise of Lex Harvey prior to the Finning takeover. Does any body remember the banter between Lex Harvey and Barlow's as to who had the largest long term rental fleet all those years ago.

Yale had a good dealer in the Eddison days and Briggs appear to want to build the brand back to past glories.

It will be an interesting time over the next year or so, I predict further consolidation in the major brands and maybe a few well know names leaving the market.
