ESG statement

Responsible Plant Hire

Whenever possible, plant is hired locally to the job site rather than being travelled long distances. This ensures:

• Reduced emissions — fewer transport miles mean lower fuel use and less environmental impact.

• Better utilisation — local fleets are often shared across projects, reducing idle time and making the most of existing resources.

• Community benefit — supporting regional suppliers helps strengthen local economies and builds long-term relationships.

Vehicle and Equipment ChoiceS

We also make careful decisions around the plant and vehicles we own and operate directly:

• Modern fleets — where available, newer electric and hybrid vehicles are prioritised, lowering emissions.

• Proven assets — older vehicles remain in operation where they are well-maintained and reliable, extending their lifespan and reducing the environmental footprint of manufacturing new equipment. This approach balances performance with responsibility.

Wider ESG Commitments

Beyond our normal day-to-day operations, we also:

• Support non-profit projects — we provide expertise at reduced or no cost for heritage, historical, and charitable trusts where safe lifting is critical.

• Promote safe practice — the HALO safety principle and bespoke training encourage safe, sustainable behaviours across the industry.

• Champion efficiency — clear planning reduces wasted time, rework, and unnecessary plant movements, cutting down on both cost and emissions.
