Buckhurst, with an annual turnover of £15milion, is now operating from several depots across the UK and Scotland with over 2000 pieces of machinery and plant
Buckhurst now employs over 140 dedicated people across our depots and field-based roles, whilst working hard to retain that small business family feel from the early ’90s.
During this time Buckhurst has developed a strong reputation in the industry for supplying quality plant equipment at very competitive prices. 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.
