The distributor agreement between lighting tower manufacturer Trime and UK-based company MHM Group has come to an end, it has been announced.

The agreement, which started eight years ago, saw MHM supply power generation equipment, lighting towers, fuel tanks, welders and related spare parts on behalf of Trime Group.

Now the agreement has ended, Trime said it will take direct control of these activities from February 1.

Although no details have been confirmed as to why the deal has ended,  an email sent out by Trime said it would allow MHM to focus on its new business model of direct rental of renewable products.

That would tie into its recently announced change of strategy, which director Josh Llewellyn told IRN is aimed at providing more sustainable sites.

Under that change, the company will focus on becoming a “complete hybrid-solar specialist,” Llewellyn said.

The company first moved into solar-hybrid and battery power in 2013.

It invested more than £5 million (€5.5 million) in sustainable power generation for the rental industry in the second half of 2018.

Meanwhile, its diesel machinery has been compatible with Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) fuel since 2021.

More recently, the company launched the ‘MHM Eco’ brand as part of a commitment to be carbon neutral by 2030 and has added a number of low emission products to its offering in recent years.
