Nationwide expansion
Industrial battery specialist PowerCell has acquired a 50% stake in Sheffield-based firm Motive Power Services (MPS) as part of its nationwide expansion programme, enhancing its sales and service capability into Lincolnshire, Lancashire, Yorkshire, the North East and Scotland.
At the same time the company has recruited two sales professionals to cover the North West, South West, South Wales and Midlands areas.
Neal Thorp joins PowerCell as a highly experienced industrial battery specialist, whilst Nik Bridger brings a strong background in sales within the forklift truck sector.
Already one of the top three providers of industrial battery products to the materials handling market, PowerCell has achieved an average growth of 24% per annum over the past five years, and this latest venture is designed to maintain that momentum.
