Sortera invests over £1m in new fleet

Greenshields JCB supplied the new vehicles to the London-based construction waste management company.

This initial investment includes a diverse range of new vehicles, including multiple waste handlers and excavators such as models JS20MH, 86C-2 and 220X.

Ian Wilkinson, operations director at Sortera, said: “This investment is about strengthening our core operations with equipment we know we can trust.

“JCB’s machinery is a proven asset in our sector, and this upgrade ensures we’re ready to meet growing client demand and continue to lead in construction waste solutions.”

The new fleet has been deployed across five of Sortera’s operational depots in Wembley, Harlow, Uxbridge, Tottenham, and Rochford.

Sortera said it plans to continue expanding its fleet with future investment in a wider variety of JCB machinery throughout the year, which forms part of its long-term commitment to infrastructure growth and operational excellence.

James Richardson, managing director at Greenshields JCB, said: “Sortera approached Greenshields JCB with a clear intention to achieve operational excellence across all of its locations, to a defined and optimised cost model.

“This involved jointly assessing the detailed requirements at each site and benchmarking best practices within their existing operations to identify suitable machinery, finance and aftersales solutions.

“We look forward to supporting Sortera in achieving their growth objectives and are grateful for the selection of GJCB as their supplier of choice and the investments that they are making in the JCB product.”
