Buckhurst Plant Hire was established in 1993 by the Walsh family. From our humble beginnings in a small yard with only a handful of machines as our offering, the company has grown phenomenally in size since then. Buckhurst, with an annual turnover of £15 million, is now operating from several depots across the UK and Scotland with over 3000 pieces of machinery and plant
Buckhurst now employs over 100 dedicated people across our depots and field-based roles, while working hard to retain that small business family feel from the early ’90s.

We are distinguished by our outstanding levels of customer service, and this has underpinned our growth as well as ensuring a loyal customer base who have relied on Buckhurst for their equipment time and time again.
The company has established itself by working to four brand values, these are Reliability, Trust, Outstanding Service, and Local to You.
