Since our establishment in 1939, we’ve earned an impressive reputation for delivering a quality service, cost-effectively.
As our business has grown, we’ve amassed a fleet of plant and vehicles, which we maintain at our Uckfield workshop. This gives us a unique ability to respond to our clients’ requirements quickly and reliably.
We’re a family business and we put our people and community firmly at the centre of our work. This is exemplified by our continual investment in supporting our workforce, and, in turn, their determination to work with minimal disruption to local residents.
