ted after purchasing another Volvo EC360B several months ago. “With client demands increasing and contract durations seemingly being compressed, we feel plant reliability and the build-up of good working relationships with our preferred plant supply chain as a key factor in the successful delivery of our on-going projects ” said Operations Director Westley Squibb. “We’ve certainly been impressed with the machine’s build quality, robustness and general reliability and as a result opted for Volvo once again,” he continued.
with the Squibb Group
The Squibb Group, after much thought and ground research, have confirmed the appointment of Volvo Construction Equipment as part of their preferred suppliers chain in the field of Demolition Plant and Equipment. As part of their on-going commitment in improving and renewing their existing fleet of excavators the Squibb Group have purchased a fully refurbished Volvo EC360BLC, EC210C and two EC160C excavators, all of which have been converted for demolition duties.

The 36 tonne EC360B, 21 tonne EC210C and 16 tonne EC160C’s join a mixed fleet of eighty excavators ranging from 1.5 to 87 tonnes and were converted for demolition duties by Volvo prior to delivery. Specifically they have benefitted by the addition of full FOGS guarding for the cab and heavy duty guarding of the bucket cylinders. In addition, the fact that the machines were already fitted with the hydraulic circuitry needed for hammer / shear application as standard was another plus point in opting for Volvo.
All four machines were supplied through Volvo’s used equipment Department at Duxford and underwent some refurbishment and the required modifications before being delivered to Squibb Group. “We work with our customers to provide a machine suited to their requirements whether it is a basic service and inspection up to a fully refurbished machine covered by our approved used programme” commented Volvo’s Used Equipment Manager Mark Rhead.
With its headquarters based at Barking, Essex and associated waste re- cycling / transfer station facilities located at Stanford Le Hope, Squibb Group undertakes all manners of demolition & abatement contracts nationally. This includes demolition, dismantling, remediation, asbestos removal, asset recovery and decommissioning works. The company founded in 1948 continues to be owned and managed by the Squibb family.
