M O'Brien Plant Hire is to purchase Lowery Demolition, it has been announced.

The deal will see Colin Prendergast join Slough-based Lowery as a Demolition Director in its management team. Mr Prendergast has more than 12 years of experience planning, overseeing and managing demolition projects.

Lowery Demolition, which was established in 1983, will benefit from M O'Brien's modern fleet of demolition equipment.

Michael O'Brien, Group Managing director, said: "I am very excited about this new venture. Having been involved with many demolition projects and driving on projects a few years before first starting M O'Brien Plant hire, it's something I have wanted to do for quite a few years.


"The wait for the right opportunity and the right management team has been worth the wait and I believe that the plan we have laid out will be very successful. Colin comes from a very strong background and with some outstanding references and I have every confidence that he will be a valued addition to our team."

Colin Prendergast, Demolition Director, added: "I feel honoured to be appointed in such an instrumental role within Lowery Demolition and look forward to embarking on a new venture with Michael O'Brien to add continued growth and become a leading member of the M O'Brien Group."
