Aggreko did well by undercutting the competition, aggressive selling
and offering terms and deals the others didnt, wouldn't or couldn't.
Once Aggreko got to a certain size they were able to buy in bulk that
the others couldn't (many smaller UK makers didn't have the turnover
or spare cash to buy in


and were often hampered by management that
were half-dead).

Thats known as the English Disease;!(....


That's all fine - just business and many of the other makers were
asleep on their feet, thus allowing Aggreko to move in.

Doesn't change my opinion of them, though.
