Waste Management contractor Sweeptech has acquired road sweeper hire specialist Go Plant after the firm went into administration last week.

The pre-pack deal was completed by administrators from Alvarez & Marsal Europe who sold a number of depots to Sweeptech saving 116 jobs.

Not all of Go Plant’s depots were sold with some shutting resulting in redundancies at the firm which employed over 400 staff.

Sweeptech provides a broad range of services including waste management, high pressure jetting, drainage maintenance and cleansing, CCTV surveys and road sweeping,

Martin Smith, CEO of Sweeptech, said:”We are thrilled to announce the acquisition of Go Plant, which marks a significant milestone in our journey towards becoming a truly national waste management company.

“This strategic move not only enhances our ability to serve our customers with excellence but also underscores our unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability and regulatory compliance.

“We are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead as we integrate Go Plant into the Sweeptech family. Together, we will continue to innovate, drive positive change and set new standards of excellence in waste management.”
