Scotland-based Blackwood Plant Hire has added 51 JCB machines to the fleet – a move highlighting the company’s continued growth and its longstanding relationship with Scot JCB.

The new JCB investment includes:

  • 17 mini and midi excavators
  • 14 trackedexcavators, including two of the latest 370X model
  • 4 wheeled excavators
  • 5 site dumpers
  • 4 tandem rollers
  • 3 telehandlers
  • 1 backhoe loader

“It comes down to reliability, ease of getting parts, operator comfort and support. The machines are simple to operate, comfortable and our drivers love the X Series cab design,” said Managing Director Paul McCormack.

With depots in Ayrshire, the Central Belt and now Aberdeen, Paul estimates that around 75% of the new machines have gone straight into operation in the north of the country.

Meanwhile, Blackwood Plant Hire’s relationship with Scot JCB spans over 20 years. Since their management buyout in 2017, Paul and his team have continued to rely on Scot JCB for machinery, service, and support. “The service is incredible,” Paul adds. “If we order a machine on a Friday, there’s a good chance it’ll be delivered by Monday. That’s the kind of turnaround you just don’t get elsewhere.”

With nearly 400 JCB machines purchased over the years, Blackwood Plant Hire’s loyalty is driven by a combination of great products, strong service, and trusted relationships. “We’re old-school. If someone asked me about buying from Scot JCB, I’d tell them one thing: phone George!”
