L & W Wilson is a family run business which was established over 40 years ago and now boasts a team of over 130 people. Operating in Cumbria and North Lancashire, it provides a wide range of services including aggregate supplies, plant hire, demolition and disposal of contaminated spoil. The company also specialises in groundworks, tipper hire, low-loader hire, civil engineering and operates tipping and recycling facilities. Another string to the L & W Wilson bow is housebuilding – where they build housing developments in Lancashire.
Boasting a fleet of 40 excavators – 13 of which are Hyundai ranging in weight from 2.7 tonnes up to 30 tonnes, L & W Wilson purchased the very first Hyundai 20 tonne machine sold by Taylor & Braithwaite in 2010 – a R210-9, which is still working in the company’s fleet today. L & W Wilson also own four Hyundai loading shovels – the first one purchased was the HL770-7 – which is also still going strong. The new R220LC-9A at L&W Wilson is the company’s fourth Hyundai 20 tonne machine purchased from T&B.
