Tanfield Group PLC is a United Kingdom-based investment company focused on passive holdings in the electric vehicle and aerial work platform sectors; it maintains a 49% membership interest in Snorkel International Holdings LLC, a global producer of self-propelled, towable and push-around aerial lifts including diesel and electric scissor lifts, mast lifts, telescopic boom lifts and articulating booms reaching heights from 10ft to 132ft for construction, rental and maintenance applications, and a 5.76% equity stake in Smith Electric Vehicles Corp, a designer and manufacturer of zero-emission electric commercial vehicles such as vans and trucks optimized for short-haul urban fleets with superior performance, efficiency and grid-return capabilities. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, the company operates with a strategy to distribute any proceeds from realizations or distributions of these investments to shareholders, subject to legal requirements, without active operational involvement or plans for additional investments. Recent developments include a favorable Nevada court ruling in November 2025 confirming Snorkel's exercise of its 2018 call option to acquire Tanfield's 49% stake, mandating payment of a USD25 million preferred interest plus a disputed option price with trial set for March or April 2026, alongside May 2025 interim updates valuing the Snorkel investment at GBP19.1 million and September 2025 half-year results reporting ongoing US proceedings stemming from the 2013 joint venture with Xtreme Manufacturing LLC.
