Based in Preston, UK, PDM Industries is a well-established business that has been trading since 1991 in specialist markets, including demolition, groundworks, civils, waste recycling, plant hire and agricultural contracting.
Simon Knox, regional sales manager for Close Brothers Asset Finance’s construction division: “I’m really pleased we were able to step up and help Pete and the team at PDM Industries. The facility allowed them to get through the difficult period of the first initial lockdown and put them in a position to continue working once restrictions had been lifted.
“This investment will mean they’re well-placed to fulfil the extra work that we’re confident will be coming their way as the economy begins to pick up again.”
Pete Marquis, the owner of PDM Industries, added: “This investment in key assets sets us up nicely for the future. The pandemic has been difficult for everyone, but we have remained positive and are looking forward to the day when things start returning to normal.
