Preston Group is an Australian group of companies that supply specialised materials handling equipment hire to the construction and industrial sectors. Preston Group's range of equipment hire includes mini cranes (also known as crawler cranes), steel props and cantilevered retractable crane loading platforms (CRCLP), an innovation that was designed by the Group's founder, John Preston. Equipment is supplied either ‘wet’ (with an operator) or ‘dry’ (without an operator). Preston Group's branch network spans four Australian states including Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia, as well as North America and now New Zealand. == History == Preston Group was founded in 1969 in Sydney, Australia by John Preston. Initially, the Group hired large mobile cranes and scaffolding equipment to the Australian construction industry. In 2000, John Preston’s son, Markus Preston, took over responsibility for the day-to-day operations of Preston Group, subsequently acquiring the Group from his father in 2004.〔''Soul Stories - 100 Australian Family Businesses 2012''., Family Business Australia., Free Run Press., South Australia, 2012, p. 159.〕 Preston Group has a longstanding affiliation with Jeans for Genes, an Australian national fundraiser for Children's Medical Research Institute, with Markus Preston serving on the organisation’s Executive Committee in 2010. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Preston Group」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
