WH Scott Group Company RHC Lifting in the UK has acquired fellow lifting and engineering specialist Premier Lifting and Safety Limited.

Premier was a supplier to RHC for many years prior to the takeover. RHC itself was only acquired by WH Scott in 2024.

The latest acquisition will “strengthen its capabilities and provide comprehensive services that meet the evolving needs of the industry,” RHC said.

Premier offers lifting and engineering solutions, inspections, lifting equipment and safety products.

Pulling together

Patrick Doyle, RHC Group CEO, said, “This acquisition not only enhances our technical expertise but also allows us to offer a broader range of services and products to our clients. We believe that together, we can achieve greater heights and deliver exceptional value.”

Phil Goodway, managing director for WH Scott’s UK operations, will oversee the integration. “This is an exciting step in RHC Lifting and WH Scott Group’s future and will help us expand our reach within the lifting industry. We have worked with Premier Lifting for many years, and their vast knowledge will instantly increase our ability to provide new and existing customers with improved customer service and an increased range of products and services,” Goodway said.
