Panther Cover the South West with New Bristol Branch

Luton, United Kingdom, April 19, 2008 --(PR.com)-- As an established market leader of powered access equipment in Bristol and the South West of the UK, Kestrel will now be known as 'Panther Bristol', complementing the existing network of Panther depots.

The addition of Kestrel's fleet of over 400 machines now takes the Panther total to well over 2500 units and provides greater UK coverage for customers. In keeping with their fantastic local reputation, Panther Bristol will be building upon the work ethic and strong customer relationships of Kestrel, retaining their same great team of qualified staff.

Tony Ireland, Sales Director commented: "Since starting Kestrel we have almost doubled our staff numbers and more than quadrupled the size of our fleet. Becoming part of Panther seemed the obvious next step; their national experience, reputation and straight forward approach to powered access hire will have the desired positive effect on the great service we already provide to our customers."
