Infrastructure services company May Gurney has signed a £4 million (about U.S. $6.6 million) preferred supplier agreement with Speedy Hire, the U.K.’s largest tool and equipment rental company.

Speedy will provide a comprehensive package of tools and equipment to May Gurney, including tools, generators, pumps, lifting gear, surveying equipment and temporary site accommodation.
