HSS were, allegedly, touting themselves for sale late last year and nobody, Speedy included, were (or are) interested. A Plant may do what they did with Hewden, wait for the insolvency and buy the assets for a few quid. At that stage there may be a bit of foreign interest but just ask yourself the simple question, if you buy HSS what do you get? Answer, a huge pile of debt and a business in turmoil. Unless you need a tax loss for your business what is the point? Small tool hire is no longer a viable business. Why hire something for £20 when you can buy it for £50. It's now all about bigger plant hire now and that is a cut throat business where competition is cutting prices to ridiculously low levels in order to win business.
