Our History

Established in 1996, we been growing steadily ever since to become the industry-leading plant sales and hire company we are today.

We’re proud to say that our unrivalled expertise, terrific product range and relentless focus on customer service have earned us an enviable reputation for excellence – and as worthy partners for your projects.

We’re also innovators! It was Worsley Plant who pioneered the use of excavator-mounted crushing and screening buckets in the UK through our market-leading Dig A Crusher and Dig A Screener brands, since rebranded to MB.

In 2007 we extended our offerings with the inception of the REMU screening buckets, and in 2011 we became the exclusive UK distributor for the Dutch-built attachments of Rotar.

The Lehnhoff Variolock Quickcoupler System was added to the Worsley arsenal in late 2013, which is ideal for our army of attachments. More recently we expanded our range even further, adding Hammers from Montabert and Magnets from Dynaset. Most recently we’ve added Oilquick Quick Couplers to our scope of products, an addition which we are very excited about.

If you have any outstanding questions about who we are and what we do, don’t hesitate to get in touch! Our team of committed professionals are always on hand and happy to help, no matter the query.
