Based in Tunbridge Wells, Sunrent provides contract hire solutions to a range of national customers, as well as short and long-term rental.
The acquisition will boost the Prohire fleet to around 4,000 managed units and will see all of Sunrent’s employees remain with the business including Sunrent’s sales director, Jason Saunders, who will assume the role of group business development director and general manager of the Sunrent brand.
Prohire’s group managing director David B Barlow said: “Sunrent’s expertise in the temperature control and on-road handling sectors fits perfectly with our growth plans and strengthens our reach not just across the South East but further afield.
“As Prohire grows, it is essential that we acquire like-minded businesses that have a synergy with our own values. Like Prohire, Sunrent is customer-focused which made them a natural addition to the Group.
