John F Hunt Power Group has officially become part of Finning UK & Ireland, marking a significant milestone in the company’s ongoing evolution and creating one of the UK’s most comprehensive providers of temporary and permanent power solutions.
The acquisition includes both John F Hunt Power and Morris Machinery, the respected British manufacturer and distributor of specialist site machinery. Together with Finning, the businesses are uniquely positioned to deliver enhanced engineering expertise, increased operational capability and greater access to specialist power generation solutions for customers across the UK and Ireland.
Reflecting on this milestone, John Hall, Chairman of the John F Hunt Group and founder of John F Hunt Power, commented:
“John F Hunt Power was born out of a practical challenge. During demolition projects throughout the 1980s and 1990s, we recognised the need for reliable temporary power solutions to support crane operations. What started as an in-house capability grew into a nationally recognised business serving a diverse range of sectors across the UK, a journey of which I am immensely proud.
Innovation has always been at the heart of our success. Our commitment to delivering dependable, efficient and forward-thinking power solutions has established John F Hunt Power as a market leader and trusted partner for customers nationwide.
This partnership with Finning represents a natural next step in the growth of both John F Hunt Power and Morris Machinery. By combining our expertise, resources and shared values, we are creating a strong platform for sustainable growth, continued innovation and an unwavering focus on customer success.”
As the businesses come together, ensuring a seamless transition remains the immediate priority. Existing contracts, pricing agreements, account management teams and day-to-day contacts will remain unchanged, providing continuity of service and maintaining the high standards customers have come to expect.
David Hunt, Managing Director of John F Hunt Power, said:
“Joining Finning marks an important new chapter for John F Hunt Power and creates exciting opportunities for our customers, employees and partners.
Since our inception, we have built our reputation on exceptional service, technical excellence and long-lasting customer relationships. Becoming part of Finning enables us to combine the strengths of two highly respected organisations, creating an even stronger platform for future growth.
Most importantly, our people remain at the heart of everything we do. We are excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to building an even stronger future together.”
The business will continue to operate as John F Hunt Power Group, A Finning Company, combining the trusted service and specialist expertise customers rely on with the additional resources, engineering capability and global experience that Finning brings.
Mark Albiston, Director of Electric Power & Engineering at Finning UK & Ireland, added:
“John F Hunt Power Group has built an outstanding reputation for engineering excellence, specialist expertise and first-class customer service, making it a natural fit for Finning.
By bringing our organisations together, we are expanding the breadth and depth of solutions available to customers across the UK and Ireland. Our combined capabilities will enable us to better support evolving power requirements while continuing to deliver the reliability, responsiveness and technical knowledge for which both businesses are recognised.
We are delighted to welcome the talented team from John F Hunt Power Group and look forward to creating new opportunities for growth and innovation across the markets we serve.”
