HSS Hire Group plc announced the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) that it has given unconditional clearance for Nationwide Platforms Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Loxam Group, to acquire UK Platforms Limited from HSS for a total Enterprise Value of £60.5 million. This transaction (the "Disposal") can now progress to completion allowing HSS to make significant progress against its strategic priorities specifically (i) delevering the Group by reducing debt; and (ii) enabling greater focus on the core Tool Hire business.
