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 five 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.
