North of England hirer Fairfax will this December take delivery of their 750th Thwaites dumper.

To mark the occasion the Fairfax Plant Hire team and BTE Plant Sales were invited to Thwaites to tour the factory and meet the team. A special 750th dumper decal was commissioned, this anniversary edition celebrates the relationship of Fairfax Plant Hire and Thwaites distributor BTE Plant Sales with whom the dumper deals, over the decades, have been done.

Mark Love, Fairfax Plant Hire Director said “Thwaites manufacture the best dumper on the market, their brand values of safety and quality both aligned with our own. Our customers ask for Thwaites machines by name, knowing they will be getting a quality machine that will not let them down and get the job done.”

Accompanying Mark was BTE Plant Sales Managing Director Rebecca Bryson, Fairfax Service Manager Martin Hazelwood, Social Media Creator Michaela Love and Service Engineer Adam Taylor.

Hosting the party was General Sales Manager Andy Sabin and Distributor Manager Will Redman.

Rebecca Bryson commented “This really is a special occasion as we mark the sale of the 750th Thwaites dumper to Fairfax Plant Hire. It remains my and my team’s pleasure, to have developed over the past few decades, a relationship that is built on trust, understanding and communication. I would like to thank Mark and the Fairfax team for their continued loyalty and support.”

Fairfax Plant Hire took delivery of their very first Thwaites dumper back in 1990 since then the company has grown rapidly to cover as it does today the North of England, East Midlands and Warwickshire.

Concluding Thwaites Distributor Manager Will Redman said, “We were so grateful that the Fairfax team and Rebecca were able to accept our invite to the Thwaites factory. Whilst I have not been involved in all the machines sold, I am proud to have been involved in the 750th, I look forward to seeing the special edition on site.

By way of perspective if you were to place each of the 750 dumpers ‘skip to skip’ you would have to walk the length of twenty-eight football pitches to get from the first the 750th.
