Plant Hire UK Celebrates 20 Years with £17 Million JCB Machine Order
As Plant Hire UK gears up to celebrate its 20th anniversary, the company has made a bold move by investing £17 million in new JCB machines.
This latest order, which includes more than 300 pieces of equipment ranging from JCB Loadalls to tracked excavators and site dumpers, marks another milestone in the company’s long-standing relationship with JCB.
Two Decades of Loyalty
Founded in 2005, Plant Hire UK has grown into one of the country’s leading equipment hirers, proudly operating from its headquarters in Haydock, Lancashire. Over the years, the company has placed more than £200 million worth of orders with JCB—equivalent to over 5,000 new machines. This unwavering loyalty has helped Plant Hire UK maintain one of the most modern fleets in the industry, serving a wide range of clients, including some of the UK’s top housebuilders.
Managing Director Graham Jones has always been clear about his commitment to JCB. Reflecting on the company’s journey, he said: “Some years ago, I decided to make Plant Hire UK 100% loyal to JCB, with machines supplied and supported by Gunn JCB. Since then, I have only ever purchased JCB equipment, underlining Plant Hire UK’s commitment to support its customers with the best machines and the best back-up in the industry.”
Jones’s decision has paid off, allowing the company to deliver consistent quality and reliability to its clients. The latest order reaffirms this commitment, as the new fleet will bolster the company’s ability to provide top-notch service while pushing forward with its ambitious plans for the future.
JCB’s Pride in a Strong Partnership
The enduring partnership between Plant Hire UK and JCB isn’t just business—it’s a testament to mutual trust and shared values. JCB Chief Operating Officer Mark Turner expressed his appreciation, saying: “JCB is immensely proud of its partnership with Plant Hire UK, and we thank Graham for his confidence in us and for his unwavering loyalty to JCB. We look forward to continuing to work with him and his team for many more years to come.”
This collaboration goes beyond mere transactions; it’s about building a future together. JCB’s reputation for quality, innovation, and customer service aligns perfectly with Plant Hire UK’s vision of supporting its clients with the best equipment and backup available.
Meeting Industry Demands with Modern Machinery
The new order of JCB machines is not just about expanding the fleet; it’s about meeting the evolving needs of the construction industry. With the UK’s construction sector under pressure to deliver projects faster and more efficiently, having access to the latest technology and reliable equipment is more critical than ever.
The latest additions to Plant Hire UK’s fleet include:
- JCB Loadalls: Renowned for their versatility and efficiency, these telehandlers are essential for a wide range of construction tasks, from moving materials to lifting loads to great heights.
- Tracked Excavators: Key for excavation work, JCB’s excavators combine power, performance, and fuel efficiency, making them ideal for the demands of modern construction sites.
- Site Dumpers: Vital for transporting materials quickly and safely, JCB site dumpers enhance on-site productivity, reducing downtime and streamlining operations.
By investing in these machines, Plant Hire UK is not just expanding its capabilities; it’s setting a benchmark for quality and performance in the industry.
A Positive Outlook for the Future
As Plant Hire UK marks its 20th year, the company’s investment in JCB equipment underscores a commitment to growth, quality, and customer satisfaction.
