A-Plant’s rebranding as Sunbelt Rentals is the culmination of our strategic review that involved consultation with more than 2000 of our employees and customers. Our Sunbelt Rentals brand will operate across all 195 locations. All 18 of our specialist divisions have been aligned as part of the process to create one single overall identity, whilst retaining the individual specialist activities and expertise.

We aim to deliver a world class rental experience to our customers, and over the coming months we will be implementing a range of new processes and technology driven enhancements to its overall customer offering.

In addition, this summer we will launch our 2025 Sustainability Strategy in the UK. The strategy will focus on responsible ways of working, creating a positive environmental impact, whilst delivering social value and ensuring the creation of sustainable legacies for local communities.
