Essex-based temporary power provider Templant has been acquired by Camfaud Group, the UK’s largest concrete pumping company and part of Concrete Pumping Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BBCP)
The acquisition marks a major step in Templant’s growth, bringing further investment in rental fleet, transport and service capability, alongside the development of a multi-depot network across the UK. Looking ahead, Templant aims to establish itself as the first choice for critical temporary power nationwide.
Led by Chris Allen, Managing Director, and Zoe Allen, Accounts Director. Templant is a well-established temporary power specialist with more than three decades of industry experience. Based in Essex and operating 24/7, 365 days a year, the company supports customers across a wide range of industries with both planned and emergency power requirements.
The company operates a premium rental fleet of more than 250 generators ranging from 20 kVA to 1250 kVA, alongside distribution boards, cable, fuel tanks, battery energy storage systems and load banks. Backed by more than 35 qualified personnel including, engineers, electricians, drivers and office staff, as well as a fleet of service vans and delivery vehicles, Templant provides a complete service from design, installations and logistics.
While the business enters this next phase of growth, Templant’s core focus remains unchanged. Customers will continue to receive the same year-round 24/7 service, from the same experienced team and high-quality equipment.
As part of its national expansion plans, Templant will make use of existing Camfaud Group depots across the United Kingdom. The business also plans to strengthen its vehicle fleet with additional service vans and HGVs positioned across these depots to improve service support and response times. Investment in people will be a vital part of this growth, with new roles being created to strengthen capacity across the expanding depot network.
Further investment is expected across temporary electrical distribution infrastructure, including additional cable and distribution equipment, helping the business support a broader range of power applications and more complex site requirements.
Following recent projects and tenders with Tier 1 contractors and major utility companies, Templant has seen growing demand for more sustainable temporary power solutions. With the support of Camfaud Group, the business plans to significantly expand its Stage V generator and battery energy storage system fleet, strengthening its ability to support more large-scale customers requiring lower-emission technology and environmental standards.
As infrastructure investment continues across the UK, particularly in utilities, transport and energy, the role of temporary power is becoming more strategically important. Ensuring continuity during planned works, supporting emergency response, and enabling flexible energy provision on complex sites are all areas where demand is expected to grow.
Camfaud Group and Templant share a strong focus on safety, people and service delivery. Bringing the two businesses together creates a strong platform for continued growth while maintaining the standards and values that have shaped their success to date.
Chris Allen, Managing Director of Templant, said, “I am excited about the opportunity to expand the group’s offering with Templant into a multi-depot business. It puts us in a strong position to support and deliver larger projects while maintaining our high standards of service.”
Tony Faud, Managing Director of Camfaud Group, added, “Templant has built a strong reputation in the temporary power sector, this acquisition reflects our confidence in the team and brand behind Templant. We are pleased to support the business as it continues to grow.”
