About Buckhurst Plant Hire
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, 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 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.
What’s it like to work for us?
We are a very down-to-earth and fun bunch at Buckhurst, and every depot has its own personality and culture.
Everyone has an important role to play within this family-run business, whereby you’re not just a number and you’re expected to roll your sleeves up and “muck in," so to speak, so you may need a pair of wellies in our plant yards.
