A decade later, in 1982, the company implemented computer systems across its operations, reflecting a commitment to technological advancement, showing a strong history of innovation, and leading from the front.
“ In April 2024, Chippindale celebrated its 75th anniversary, marking a significant milestone in its enduring legacy. Following the retirement of Nigel and Peter Chippindale, I assumed the role of Managing Director, bringing with me over 40 years of industry experience to lead the company into its next chapter.

Sustainable approach
The company provides an extensive selection of plant machinery, site accommodation, attachments and tool hire suitable for a variety of applications. As Operations Director, Tony Atack, details:“ Our product portfolio is incredibly diverse, covering almost every aspect of the construction process. We provide Volvo Excavators in a range of sizes, from micro excavators, suitable for tight spaces, to large-scale models for major earthmoving tasks. We also specialize in Mecalac Dumpers, including high tip, tracked cabbed, forward and swivel skip models, designed for efficient on-site material transport.
“ Our offering also includes BOMAG rollers and compaction equipment, and this category features double drum rollers and compactors for surface preparation and soil compaction. We also have JCB and Manitou telehandlers- these are versatile machines capable of lifting and placing materials at height, essential for many construction sites.
“ Additionally, Chippindale offers a range of specialist attachments, such as Epiroc hydraulic breakers, which are ideal for demolition tasks since they can break through even the toughest concrete and rock. In a similar vein, we have crusher buckets, which allow on-site recycling of materials by crushing debris into reusable aggregate. Finally, for smaller-scale tasks and jobs, Chippindale can provide a range of breakers, vibrating plates, mixers, landscaping tools, and drills. What’ s more, the majority of these products are available to hire, meaning our customers have flexibility when it comes to the tools they use.”
