Acorn Transport and Plant Hire Limited
was formed in 1998 by Jason and Elizabeth Stevenson
bringing together their shared 10 year experience
in the assistance of running a busy ready mix concrete
business covering the Bedfordshire/Cambridgeshire
area as well as a groundwork company. Using this experience
and their local connections they began by operating
a single tipper lorry hauling aggregates and grain.
This proved very successful and they then purchased
lorries two and three. A low loader lorry was then
put on the road followed by a further two low loaders
and another tipper. Plant
hire has also been demanded by our customers and
the purchase of a 360 machine, digger and mini digger
with operator were put to use.
Being mindful of the increased concern of the environmental
impact of waste materials they decided to try their
hand at skip hire and to open a recycling
centre to process aggregates/builders waste/sub
soil/green garden waste etc., this would then maximise
the recycling potential of the skip waste collected
from our customers.
Since they have been operating the skip service they
have purchased two further skip lorries, numerous
skip bins in varying sizes and invested heavily in
shredder, crusher and screener machines which play
an integral part in the development of the facility.
Their most recent purchase has been a hook loader
lorry which is used to carry large bins for commercial
waste.
The company serves a diverse range of customers from
the DIY garden makeover customer to local builders,
farmers, councils, clubs and national companies.
They are registered waste carriers and are fully insured,
skip permits can be supplied
upon request.
The company ethos of Acorn Transport and Plant Hire
Limited has always been on giving the best possible
service they can at the keenest prices whilst retaining
the friendly and reliable approach you would hope
to expect from a growing business in a highly competitive
industry.
