Bit of breaking 📰 🔴
Two weeks ago, I officially completed the purchase and takeover of PHL Hydraulics UK Ltd, and I am incredibly proud and humbled to say that I am now the sole owner of the business.
This is a major milestone I never imagined when I first joined the company in 2009 in county Carlow in Ireland, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the belief, support and guidance of one person – Noel Fallon.
Noel, thank you for giving me opportunities that have shaped my career, for believing in me when others may not have, and for trusting me to help build PHL Hydraulics UK Ltd into one of the UK’s leading names in hydraulic engineering, synchronised lifting and heavy lifting solutions. Your mentorship, knowledge and friendship over the years have been invaluable. The vision you created for this company, combined with my own ambitions for its future, will continue to be the foundation of everything we do. I look forward to building on the legacy you’ve created while continuing to grow the business into new markets and opportunities.
To my incredible team, thank you. This achievement is not mine alone. Every engineer, technician, project manager, office administrator and member of our workshop and site teams has played a vital role in our success. I also want to give a special thank you to our leadership team, whose commitment, professionalism and drive have helped make PHL what it is today. I am fortunate to work alongside such talented people, and I am excited for what we will achieve together in the years ahead.
To our customers, thank you for the trust you have placed in us over the years. Every project, no matter the size, has helped us develop, improve and strengthen our reputation. Your continued confidence in our team means everything, and we remain committed to delivering the quality, innovation and service that you have come to expect from PHL Hydraulics UK Ltd.
As we begin this new chapter, our values remain unchanged. We will continue investing in our people, our equipment and our capabilities, pushing boundaries and delivering safe, innovative engineering solutions throughout the UK and beyond.
This isn’t the finish line—it’s the start of an exciting new journey. I couldn’t be more proud to lead PHL Hydraulics UK Ltd into its next chapter.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way. Here’s to the future.
