About Buckhurst Plant Hire

Buckhurst Plant Hire was established in 1993 by the Walsh family. From our humble beginnings in a small yard with only a handful of machines, the company has grown phenomenally in size since then. Buckhurst, with an annual turnover of £15 million, is now operating from several depots across the UK with over 3000 pieces of machinery and plant.

Buckhurst now employs over 120 dedicated people across our depots and field-based roles, while working hard to retain that small business family feel from the early ’90s.
