Construction Influencer. The fact that you go by an anonymous name and the name itself speaks volumes.

It seems that Boels strategy is absolutely clear into growth. Fast growth and very big growth. Probably the most relevant European full liner of rental in the future?
For me is Boels a game changer for many many "manufacturer - dealer" realationships as Boels is already much to powerful to buy through local dealers.
And spoken from the end user side: it gives the most powerful argument for enduser to deal with them: No risk, new machines and very low rental prices (compared to local rental companies).
Very big respect of that what (Pierre) Boels is doing with the market.
