MHM Group to showcase innovative sustainable hire equipment at “Sustainability Showcase”

The event will be livestreamed at Glasgow’s highly anticipated United Nations COP26 conference

In conjunction with the United Nations climate change conference (COP26) in Glasgow this November, MHM Group is partnering with leading UK hire company Speedy to showcase the most advanced emission-reducing hire products at a leading industry conference led by Balfour Beatty.

Launched in 2010, MHM Group is the leading supplier of a range of sustainable equipment, including solar hybrid generators and solar lighting towers. MHM already have a range of innovative products which create zero carbon emissions, in addition to their hard work to ensure the use of renewable fuels and energy to power the rest of their product portfolio, wherever and whenever possible.

At Balfour Beatty’s Sustainability Showcase and Digital Innovation Hub event, MHM will be exhibiting a range of their sustainable equipment to others in the industry, including a solar hybrid generator, an automatic stop / start generator, a stand-alone and self-powered solar diesel-free lighting tower, and a ready to rent 5kVA/ 4kWh battery pack.

The MHM Group have confirmed that all their diesel-powered machinery, principally generators and lighting towers, are now fully compatible with HVO fuel, such as Green D+ from Speedy. Using HVO Green D+ fuel can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 90% when likened with fossil-fuel diesel.

MHM Group’s Managing Director, Mat Llewellyn, will be joined by Group Sales Director, Brad Ireland, National Sales Manager, David Mallon and the Business Development Manager of

Scotland, Mike Grant at the Balfour Beatty event which will be live-streamed into the COP26 Conference.

Brad Ireland said ‘MHM are delighted to support this initiative and are proud to be a part of something so important. Addressing climate change is the number one issue for so many industries around the world and everybody needs to make a contribution by reducing their emissions. MHM Group is 100% behind this challenge and will be building on the progress that we have already made to make our company carbon zero by 2025.

“By participating in this event, we hope to raise awareness further within our industry on how, together, we can collaborate on meeting the challenging targets that the Government has set out and making a contribution towards climate change.”

MHM’s partner in this initiative, Speedy, has a strong track record through its Partnership Excellence Programme in collaborating with its customers and suppliers in reducing carbon emissions across the supply chain and in delivering low-carbon logistics programmes for major construction projects, including HS2.

Alan Jones, from Speedy, said: “We are thrilled to be teaming up with MHM at such a critical event that recognises the significance of the building and construction industries in reducing global CO2 emissions. We are proud to be working to decarbonise and make the built environment more sustainable.”
