Cross Rental adds All Seasons Hire

UK: Cross Rental Services Group has continued its UK expansion with the acquisition of HVAC rental company All Seasons Hire Ltd from HSS.

The purchase of Hampshire-based All Seasons Hire follows Cross Rental’s acquisition of HVAC rental company Acclimatise in 2020 and chiller and air conditioning hire and rental company Swegon Hire UK in 2019.

Established in 2006, All Seasons Hire was acquired by HSS in 2015 for £11.4m. It boasts a blue-chip customer base including FMs, manufacturers, logistics companies, local government and M&E contractors.

As part of the deal, Cross Rental Services has entered into a long-term commercial agreement with HSS for the supply of HVAC equipment and services to ensure the broadest possible distribution of, and customer access to, both parties’ existing fleets.
