FAMILY-owned Heming Group has invested heavily in new plant and tractor equipment grows into a leading player in contracting and civil engineering.

The company – based in Willersey, near Broadway – has acquired additional excavators and tractors to cope with a surge in business as it nears 50 years of trading. It has acquired two new crawler excavators, a wheeled digger and a powerful JCB Fastrac 422200 tractor.

Peter Heming, managing director of Heming Group, said: “This investment in new equipment demonstrates our commitment to being a leading operator in a fiercely competitive marketplace. Apart from this type of investment, where we really aim to excel is by providing a customer-focused service from a friendly family-run business which has been trading nearly 50 years.”

The equipment is a boost to Heming Group’s standing at a busy time in its history which has seen it win a number of major contracts including providing groundworks for new care homes in Evesham, Worcestershire and Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands. The group, which has more than 40 employees, comprises Heming Civil Engineering and Construction, Heming Agricultural and Plant Engineers, Ford Electrical, Major Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Services and Major Building Services. With a wide range of equipment at its disposal, the company can work on all sizes of site from household groundwork to large construction sites.
