Sortera has announced a significant fleet investment exceeding £1 million in new JCB mobile plant machinery. This strategic upgrade marks a key milestone in the construction waste management specialist’s drive to deliver faster, more efficient, and more reliable services across its expanding network across Greater London, the company said.
This initial investment includes a diverse range of new vehicles, including multiple waste handlers and excavators such as models JS20MH, 86C-2 and 220X. These have been deployed across five of Sortera’s operational depots in Wembley, Harlow, Uxbridge, Tottenham, and Rochford to enhance on-site efficiency, reduce downtime, and strengthen material handling capabilities across a wide range of projects.
“This investment is about strengthening our core operations with equipment we know we can trust,” said Ian Wilkinson, Operations Director at Sortera. “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.”
“Sortera approached Greenshields JCB with a clear intention to achieve operational excellence across all of its locations, to a defined and optimised cost model,” said James Richardson, Managing Director at Greenshields JCB. “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.”
He added, “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.”
Looking ahead, Sortera has confirmed plans to continue expanding its fleet with more investment in a wider variety of JCB machinery throughout the year, which is all part of its long-term commitment to infrastructure growth and operational excellence.
The order reflects Sortera’s continued commitment to investing in best-in-class technology and infrastructure to support scalable growth, according to the company.
