While expansion has seen us grow nationally and provide plant from the top of Scotland to the most southern parts of Cornwall, we have kept the companies tradition of servicing all projects with the same attention to detail.

Building our business around the needs of our customers has given us the foundation to service major developments, such as the construction of the Hinkley Point Nuclear Power Station. This project was Europe’s largest construction site and we are proud to support it’s progress, having been Principle Supplier for over 9 years, we have had more than 300 items of plant on hire and over 200 working personnel onsite at peak times.
