Europe's leading supplier of rental powered access platforms said profits rose by at least 30 per cent to about £14 million last year.

Bosses said total revenue was up 4 per cent to £225 million for the same period. The company, which trades as Nationwide Platforms in the UK, supplies the construction and maintenance sectors.

The group saw revenue in its UK business, which makes up just under half of total income, remain flat, while its Middle East operation, which accounts for 15 per cent of revenue, soared by more than a third.

The group employs 200 people at its base in Central Park, Lutterworth which is just off junction 20 of the M1.
