This new identity will also see further growth with Kestrel Powered Access becoming the new Panther Bristol branch, adding over 400 machines and increasing both national coverage and equipment choice.
Panther has always been known as a very friendly, local and reliable operation, so whilst further expansion is most definitely on the cards, their customers have been assured that apart from maybe a change of telephone number all their regular contacts, local depot address' and account details will remain the same.
The new Panther has already seen rapid growth and expansion, with Kestrel Powered Access the first to become part of the Panther family. 2008 will also see Panther welcoming AMP and Higher Platforms, again further expanding the range of machines and locations to their national network of hire depots.
Panther's Managing Director, Richard Miller commented: 'Panther's first class reputation and straightforward approach to powered access hire, in partnership with Lavendon's international experience makes for an extremely strong and successful force going forward in the UK powered access market. Our new branding emphasises the real benefits of this partnership:
Panther's parent company, Lavendon Group, is introducing the new identity across all of its businesses throughout Europe and the Middle East, with Panther being selected as the first UK operation to launch this new branding. The new logo takes the form of a tick; this symbol emphasises the positive approach Panther take to providing a first class service, and ensuring that it always gets every customer's 'job done.'
