Community builds
Fast-turnaround community and charity projects where the whole build happens in days and nothing can arrive late.

Who we work for
Nearly twenty years of construction, engineering, infrastructure and hire work — alongside a steady stream of one-off lifts for people who just need something moved.

Why they come back
Long relationships, not one-off jobs
Most of the names above have used us for years rather than once. On a live site the thing that matters is whether the lorry turns up when the programme says it should, and whether the driver knows the site well enough not to need re-briefing every visit.
Our staff retention is among the highest in the industry, which is the unglamorous reason clients on ongoing work tend to get the same driver / operators. And the fleet is our own rather than hired in, so a vehicle can be committed to a contract rather than being subject to somebody else’s availability.
The work itself
Where our vehicles end up
Festival and event sites
Cabins, kiosks and units in and out of festival sites on a timetable set by the event, not by us.
Universities and campuses
Working inside live campuses with pedestrians about and timed access windows.
Utilities and treatment works
Plant, kiosks and equipment delivered onto operational utility sites.
Airports and transport hubs
Steelwork lifted into a new frame on a live airport estate, with the traffic and the public still moving around it.
Factories and works
Lifting inside the building rather than outside it: steel brought in under a roof, around plant that is still working.
Common questions
Working with us, answered
Do you only work for large companies?
No. The names on this page are the ones people recognise, but a good deal of our work is single lifts for private customers and small jobs for local trades. A single delivery for a private customer gets the same driver / operator as a stadium contract.
Can you provide references?
Yes, for the kind of work you are asking about. Tell us what your job looks like and we will point you at a client doing something comparable rather than sending a generic list.
Do you work on rail and infrastructure?
Yes. Several of our driver / operators hold Rail Track PTS and we are LINK Up members for the supply of lorries to safety critical sites, which is generally the entry requirement.
Can we set up a trade account?
Yes, for regular customers and subject to credit checks. Ask us for the trade account application form.
New client, or just one job?
Both are welcome. Email us what needs lifting and where, and we will come back with a vehicle and a price.
