70% of the company’s business is in aggregates and 30% in muck away.  The aggregates side of the business has grown due to an increased demand driven by HS2 construction.  A lot of their business also comes from Windfarms, Charging Stations, and Amazon Warehouses.

In July 2022 they bought a second hand Remu Screening Bucket – a 3150 with 40mm spacing.  This helped them see a 30% reduction in sending material to landfill.   They didn’t know about Remu, so contacted Worsley Plant and asked for some more info on them.  Matt, Worsley Plant’s Salesman for the South of the UK, set up a one-day trial.  After that they were hooked.

“The Remu buckets are great for the size of our yard.  It’s one operator, one lot of diesel and we can hire it out too.  It’s more economical than larger screening plant.  It’s also easy to maintain – we just grease it 3 times a day.”
