Weldon Plant.

Post #1 by Hugh Jaleak » Fri Sep 03, 2010 11:35 pm

I worked for them for a few months in 1998, leaving to take up the offer of a start on the council. Unfortunately they have had to call in the administrators this week due to cashflow problems, putting over 100 people out of work. http://www.northantset.co.uk/news/Weldon-calls-in-administrators.6511161.jp

Weldon ran a large fleet of Cat machines, more recently the odd Komatsu, Volvo ADT's and a mixed fleet of Volvo and Scania 8 wheelers, working on various projects around the Midlands area.
