Ely Skip Hire Ltd established in 1985 are a family run business that started out supplying a small number of mini skips locally in and around Ely.

To date, and operating from two sites based in Ely & Cambridge, Ely Skip Hire Ltd has grown to be one of the premier skip hire companies in the area providing skip hire and waste recycling to homeowners and construction sites across Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Norfolk.

Doug Stuart, owner of Ely Skips is extremely proud of their green credentials. They aim to recycle 95% of all waste they handle, keeping to a minimum waste that has to go to landfill helping ESH to reduce the impact of waste on the environment.

Ely Skip Hire use excavators fitted with a sorting grab to pick and sort bulky waste at both of their recycling facilities ready for processing. Carrying out this process with skilled operators keeps to the need for manual sorting to a minimum, using excavators makes the process more efficient and vastly reduces health and safety risks.

Due to continued growth, ESH saw the need to expand their fleet of excavators at both their waste recycling facilities.  Looking for a local supplier ESH contacted Sophie Carter from Global Machinery Solutions Ltd, the SANY construction equipment dealer for Cambridgeshire and the surrounding areas and asked her to call in so they could find out more about SANY Excavators and GMS.

Doug placed an initial order for two excavators, an 8-tonne SY80U and 15-tonne SY155U, requesting that both machines be delivered as soon as possible and within two weeks both machines were prepared, delivered and installed on site. Based on the back up and service Doug received from Sophie and GMS, he went onto place a further order for an additional SANY SY155U, also supplied from stock.

Doug commented “The main reasons SANY were of interest to me were the machines were in stock and GMS are also very local to my business. The outstanding 5 year/5,000 hour warranty also helps with piece of mind. I have been really happy with the service and backup received from GMS so far and I’m looking forward to doing more business with them in the future.”
