Our History & Background

Providing sustainable project solutions for the quarrying industry for over 20 years

Terry has worked in the earthmoving industry for over 40 years starting out as a Heavy Plant Engineer. He decided to set up an earthmoving business of his own and grew a fleet of plant and machinery.

Originally SH Plant operated in open casting and as demand for coal reduced the business moved into quarrying.

We have been working with a range of clients across the quarrying industry for many years. We specialise in extraction, soil stripping, hauling and restoration works. We work as a trusted partner to quarries assisting with their daily operations. We also welcome small, one-off projects.

To futureproof the business, Terry's daughter, Rosie, now works alongside him. We are a business that is small enough to care but big enough to compete.
