Our continuous policy of investing in plant and equipment brings unique advantages to all sectors of Wrekin’s activities. The increasing need for more effective utilisation of mechanised plant is an essential factor in efficient contract delivery. At Wrekin we have pursued an active plant investment programme since the company was formed in the 1960’s. This policy has given us huge experience in selection and operation of plant with the aim of achieving optimum contract performance.

One advantage of our plant ownership experience is that we have total knowledge of our plant capability. We constantly review plant developments and innovations from worldwide manufacturers and our requirements are selected with the advice and knowledge of Wrekin’s maintenance and operational teams. This experienced choice ensures that we have the right plant for efficient completion of our contracts, with the added benefit that health and safety issues are addressed through the consultation process. Our plant is fully maintained for reliable performance by staff who in many cases have been team members since their apprenticeship with the company, and operated by a team member who has had a say in the machine choice and knows its capability ‘inside out’. Where contracts present new challenges for unusual and individual plant requirements, Wrekin’s engineering staff can provide unique and inventive modifications to machines, making sure there is always an efficient solution to the problem.

Our plant investment programme ensures that plant is always available when it is needed and that it is to the latest specification available, in particular with regard to health and safety.
