Founded in 1993 by the Walsh family, Buckhurst Plant Hire has grown significantly from its humble beginnings. What started with just a few machines, including tractor winches and a 3CX in a small yard, has evolved into a nationwide operation with six depots and over 3,000 pieces of machinery.

Employing more than 120 staff members across the UK, the company has built a strong reputation for providing high-quality plant equipment to various sectors. Its growth is built on a foundation of competitive pricing and exceptional customer service.

Many long-standing businesses rely on Buckhurst for their equipment needs at competitive prices. The high levels of customer service for which the company is known for underpin this growth.

As a company, we work on five brand values, Teamwork, Trust, Customer Commitment, Urgency and Sustainability. These values are what describe and identify us, they help us to provide excellent and reliable customer service for you.

At Buckhurst, we hire a vast range of equipment through our main company divisions: Plant Hire, Utility Plant Hire, Specialist Plant and Transport. In one year alone, we invested over £10 million, ensuring our customers have the very latest equipment from the leading manufacturers across the world.

At Buckhurst, we have developed an award-winning ‘Customer First Culture’. Our customers range from some of the most high-profile construction companies in the UK to our many local and DIY customers.

We aim to be not merely a supplier of hired equipment with associated maintenance and call-out cover, but a partner actively contributing to the effectiveness of our customers’ business needs.

We put our customers’ needs first in everything, from concept and planning through to delivery and post-contract, and can offer a host of benefits, such as a state-of-the-art extranet facility giving customers online real-time account tracking.

We have a national account management function and can offer preferred or sole supplier agreements, whereby customers can reduce their equipment supplier bases with bespoke deals that provide peace of mind and significant savings in time and money.

We invest heavily in new equipment, selecting only brand leaders as suppliers, building long-term relationships with them to ensure we offer the very latest and high-quality equipment.

Buckhurst Plant Hire offers operated and self-drive plant, depending on your needs. All our operators are fully qualified, reliable, trustworthy, and competent.
