Hessle part of CorpAcq seem to be selling Hyundai now in the North East will we see a change of direction for the hole group away from Unicarrier to Hyundai.

If i was in there shoes i would have changed before now with Doosan now buying Rushlift Hyundai seem a good option to tye up with CorpAcq
would make sense for this to happen Hyundai get a good same dealer coverage and CorpAcq get hold of a medium priced truck to take on the big boy's. If this did happen it would affect Briggs the most as they seem lost at sea at the moment and will also affect Impact

it is true, apparently it's going to continue operating as UFT rather then the Carrylift banner. they have expanded over the years, 9 depots in all.

Must be true or else there would be a denial. Good luck to them, from where the business was previously, ie. old UFT, they have done well.
Carrylift, or Corpacq, seem to have money. Who's next ?
