T&A Plant Hire, based in Ballynoe, County Cork, Ireland, has been placed in administration, the third U.K. rental company to file for bankruptcy protection in 2011. T&A is a family-owned business established in 1995, with a fleet of mostly earthmoving and compaction machines.
So far this year Newcastle-based D&K Plant Hire, and national crane rental specialist Bryn Thomas have gone into administration.
