He spoke at the official opening of the Coastal store in the Lekki area of Lagos where he said the major challenge in the construction industry is the lack of technical know-how to operate most of the sophisticated equipment used in construction in the country.
He explained that the new outfit will afford Nigerians opportunity to hire high quality construction equipment at affordable prices.
“This is a one-stop shop for all kinds of construction equipment. We will deliver to you anywhere you want it and when you are through we pick it up.
“We’re here to sanitise the rental market and our plan is to open more shops in different parts in Lagos and Nigeria,” he said.
He added that Nigeria is a big market filled with lots of construction opportunities saying that meeting the huge demand for the industry will not be a problem.
He said, “One of our key objectives for bringing the brand to Nigeria is to provide viable, cost-effective and sustainable alternatives to the construction and industrial sectors.
“We realize that these two sectors are marked by accelerated development and will need reliable and efficient equipment to support their business and commercial activities. Coastal Hire Nigeria has come to fill that gap by providing top-notch equipment that assists them in reaching those goals.”
Speaking on the partnership with the company, John Harcourt Cooke, CEO Coastal Hire South Africa said, “We’re eager to partake in and support the impressive development that has marked certain sectors in the Nigerian economic space.”
He said his company will bring its several years of experience and expertise to bear on delivery of service and technical support.
Director of CBO Capital, Bex Nwawudu said, “As an investor in this business, we’re pleased to have demonstrated that we can deliver on projects and transactions. We believe that the Coastal Hire model is one that can be replicated successfully, especially in a country like ours that is economically vibrant and diverse.
“We’re proud to back the management of Coastal Hire Nigeria, and will work hard to support their expansion plans.”
Coastal Hire Nigeria Limited has a wide range of products such as breaking and drilling tools, welding tools, water pumps, compaction and concrete equipment, tiling tools and a host of other construction and industry gear for hire.
