Flannery Plant Hire was built on JCB, when Pat Flannery started out with a 3C backhoe loader in 1972. Now run by his sons Martin, Patrick Jnr and Paul, the Flannery fleet today has more than 6,500 machines.
For delivery throughout 2025, Flannery has placed a 拢22m order through machinery dealer Greenshields JCB for 220 new machines. These include Loadall telescopic handlers, X Series tracked excavators, site dumpers, mini excavators and 3CX backhoe loaders. The fleet will be delivered throughout 2025 to work on major national infrastructure projects.
Managing director Patrick Flannery said: 鈥淥ur customers continue to be delighted with the JCB range and we will continue to invest in the finest quality, innovative equipment available. We are particularly interested in JCB鈥檚 development of hydrogen powered machines and we plan to take the first hydrogen 3CX from JCB鈥�.
JCB global major accounts director Steve Fox said: 鈥淲e are proud of our longstanding business partnership with Flannery Plant Hire, especially as Pat Snr started the business with just a 3C backhoe. The Flannery family should be very proud of their successful and forward-thinking business.鈥�
