INSIDE FORKLIFTACTION
We report this week that Dutch equipment hire specialist Riwal is planning to withdraw from the UK market. The company cites the long-term outlook for the UK rental market and Riwal's limited marketshare.
The announcement comes as the world watches the UK economy, which has been badly shaken in the past few weeks.
Forkliftaction News readers will be aware of another significant factor - consolidation in the UK equipment hire market. We have reported extensively on the acquisition trail of Briggs Equipment which just last month completed the purchase of Galway Plant and Tool Hire. Clearly, as Briggs gets bigger, it must be getting tougher for smaller players which either have to differentiate their offering, drop their rates or get out of the market. That's if they're not snapped up by a larger competitor!

FACT OF THE WEEK
The world's oldest known wild bird, a Laysan albatross, turned 70 last year. Scientists found the bird in 1956 and estimated it was 5 years old, just reaching sexual maturity. They named it Wisdom and attached its first red identifying ankle band. At 70 years of age, Wisdom hatched another chick and is believed to have hatched more than 30 chicks over the course of her lifetime.
