“ Over the course of the next 20 years , we significantly expanded our non-mechanical product range , driving us to purchase 16

sites to ensure comprehensive geographical coverage . In 2008 , we acquired Railtec Engineering , a steel fabrication company . As a result of this acquisition , we were able to assume control over the supply chain and guarantee the ongoing quality of the crane and forklift products made for our hire fleet . To accommodate our expanding operations , we relocated to a larger , purpose-built facility in Maplewell , Barnsley . This move empowered us to enhance our steel fabrication capacity and offer improved design and build services to our customers . Subsequently , we purchased a plastic manufacturing company called Europalite in 2014 . It is worth noting that we retained its original name while placing it under the Marwood umbrella . Acquiring Europalite has proved highly

Prioritising sustainable products

Powered by these acquisitions and an improved product portfolio , Marwood ’ s growth has been off the charts . To accommodate its expanding needs , the company purchased a new depot in Dagenham . “ In 2018 , we realised that our facility in Barking was not large enough to meet the growing demand . It took a few more years until we could find a property that could offer us the appropriate yard space , offices , and workshop facilities to establish it as our flagship site . This project represents a substantial investment of £ 16 million in the site , along with £ 1.5 million in upgrades . Upon obtaining ownership in December 2023 , we started the refurbishment project in late January 2024 . Our plans encompass a full office refit , full engineering works within the warehouse , and yard upgrades . Currently , the engineering fit-out is progressing well , with our shotblast and paint spraying sheds already in place . Moreover , the office renovations have been completed , and we have begun moving some inventory onto the site ahead of our opening in August 2024 . Once finalised , our facility will be equipped to service London with our extensive nonmechanical products available for hire and sales . Additionally , we will offer our customers a comprehensive customer-owned product refurbishment service . Overall , our new Dagenham depot marks a significant step forward in being able to deliver more of our high-quality product across the South and support our depot operations nationwide ,” Jeff enlightens .

To top it all off , Marwood has formed a partnership with Richards CCTV , which has provided invaluable support in implementing the security measures at its new Dagenham depot . “ We have turned to Richards CCTV
