Ashtead  Group  plc - the leading UK and US equipment outsourcer  -  announced
today  that  it  has won the contract to become the sole supplier  of  general
plant and related equipment to the nationwide construction activities of Birse
Group  for  the  next  40  months. As part of this arrangement,  Ashtead  will
purchase the non-operated equipment rental divisions of Birse Group PLC for  a

The  acquired businesses hire plant to the industrial and construction sectors

"An  important facet of this purchase is that we will become the sole supplier
of  plant  to  Birse for the next 40 months.  Such an agreement  typifies  the
longer-term partnering arrangements that we are seeking, and winning, with our
clients both in the UK and US".
