Bennie Equipment announces its second acquisition of 2025, as Milton Keynes Forklifts (MKFL) based in Milton Keynes joins the BENNIE family of companies.

MKFL are an experienced Material Handling Equipment (MHE) company in the region, with over 30 years of experience delivering forklift solutions across Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire & Hertfordshire.

Like Bennie Equipment, they pride themselves on delivering the same great customer service to all, whether to a one-truck business or a national brand.

Bennie Equipment, a leading MHE provider in the UK, continues a strategy of rapid growth through acquisitions, maintaining momentum following the recent three acquisition of 4k Systems Ltd and South West Forklifts Ltd in 2024, and Len Griffiths Forklift Services in February 2025.

Ian Collins, MD at Milton Keynes Forklifts was looking for a partner to be his succession plan and take the business to the next level.

As a 4th generation family business with a track record in M&A activity in the MHE space, BENNIE is a well placed and natural fit.

A BENNIE spokesperson said: "BENNIE is on a mission to grow its MHE presence across the UK and the acquisition of Milton Keynes Forklifts is the latest and marks our fourth milestone in this journey.

"Given the synergies of both businesses it is business as usual as the partnership gets underway.

"Both BENNIE and MKFL are absolutely committed to ensuring customers receive the same excellent levels of support and customer service.

"We look forward to continuing to deliver exceptional regional MHE solutions and continue to provide our customers with award winning services."
