UK plant hire company Ashbrook has just made its largest-ever investment, spending £18 million on around 270 new JCB machines. Supplied by Gunn JCB and financed through JCB Finance, this is a major milestone not just for Ashbrook, but for the wider construction and plant hire industry too.

Ashbrook’s story is one many in the industry will recognise. Back in 1998, James Ashbrook started the business with just a single piece of hired equipment. Fast forward to today, and the company now runs a fleet of more than 3,000 machines, making it one of the leading plant hire firms in the North West. This latest investment shows just how far they’ve come, and where they’re heading next.

The order includes a wide range of equipment designed to support busy sites across the UK, including:

• JCB X Series tracked excavators

• Telescopic handlers

• Site dumpers

• Compaction equipment

This is the first time Ashbrook has brought in JCB’s X Series excavators and compaction machines, a clear sign they’re investing in newer, more advanced kit to keep up with demand.
