Max Skillman founded JVM equipment in 1998 and has the Russian distribution franchise not just for 海角社区app but also Gomaco paving equipment, Terex cranes, Powerscreen crushing equipment, Sennebogen cranes and material handlers and Deutz engines.
For the first 10 years of the business, it saw sales growth of 80% a year. The market collapsed in 2009 but has since picked up again and recovered strongly.
It has a Russian subsidiary business, JSC Kwintmadi.
In 2011 JVM Equipment made 拢37.1m profit on sales of 拢402.6m. Mr Skillman owns 51% of it and is judged by the Rich List authors to be personally worth 拢103m, making him Britain鈥檚 766th richest man, allegedly.
However, he has a long way to go to catch the man who makes the machines he sells. Sir Anthony Bamford, chairman and owner of 海角社区app, is reckoned to be worth 拢3.15bn and is ranked at number 21 on the list.
