The Ulster Farmers’ Union are delighted to welcome Balloo Hire to our fast-growing corporate membership programme. Since 2019, Balloo Hire has been part of the Briggs Equipment Group, operating under Briggs Equipment Ireland, with depots across Bangor, Belfast, Ballyclare, Dungannon, Nutts Corner, Lisburn, and Omagh – the latter of which was expanded in 2024.
Whether you need equipment for a day or a long-term project, they offer a wide range of hire solutions – from heavy plant excavators, dumpers, rollers, and telehandlers, to powered access platforms, site welfare units, and essential services like generators, lighting, fuel storage, landscaping and fencing.
UFU corporate sales executive Craig Scott said, “I am delighted to welcome Balloo Hire as our newest corporate member. With strategically located depots across Northern Ireland, Balloo are perfectly positioned to support our members with their hire needs. Their expertise and strong local presence make them a fantastic addition to our corporate network.”
Plant sales manager, Mervyn McKeown, said, “As both a proud Ulster Farmers’ Union member myself and fleet sales manager at Balloo Hire, I’m delighted that we’ve become a corporate member of the UFU. With seven depots across the country, Balloo are here to support members with all their hire needs – including access equipment, power generation, large plant and small tools. Agriculture continues to grow and develop, and we’re proud to stand alongside the farming community, providing the equipment and expertise they need to get the job done.”
