North East construction company makes £650k investment in new fleet

A North East construction company has invested £650k in a new fleet providing the capacity to deliver over 200 tonnes of scaffolding and fall safety materials to sites throughout the UK.

JMAC, headquartered in Stockton, Teeside, has pledged its ongoing commitment to the safe delivery and lifting of all materials to site and the investment will increase operational efficiency and customer service.

The vehicle investment, which brings the overall JMAC Group fleet to almost 60 vehicles, ranges from small vans and drop sides to articulated vehicles.

The new trucks are being used to ensure the safe, efficient delivery of JMAC’s range of fall safety products and scaffolding operations to national home builders, industrial sites and major construction contractors.

All the new trucks are compliant with Transport for London’s Direct Vision Standard for entry into the capital city. JMAC is also working towards achieving Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme compliance in 2022.

Jonathan Dalgleish, transport, logistics and yard manager, JMAC , said: “We believe that investing in the best transport and drivers is integral to delivering a first-class service to our customers across a variety of sectors such as major construction, and industrial sites and our continual investment in our transport model, is helping us to build on our strong reputation for service and safety excellence.

“Making regular improvements to our fleet is important to keep pace with customer and legislative demand and we are already looking ahead, especially when it comes to legislation surrounding inner city deliveries that require higher safety and emissions specifications.”

Luis McCarthy, group managing director, said: “JMAC are well known for innovation and safety within our scaffolding and safety systems divisions, so having an exceptional transport team and fleet is key to our operation, and as important as the contracting or sales teams within the organisation.

“We will continue to invest in safety excellence in our fleet and training to support the safety of the people who work within our business. In addition to this, we have received some positive feedback from our customers about the improvements – which is something we are immensely proud of.”
