Nicky,

Tom Mccullouch is the director at MMC and they seem to be doing well. When the gravel quarry was worked out in Mirfield Sam the father, and Martha the mother went to work in Cornwall quarries. Sam and Martha used to lodge in Leicester and travel 90 miles to Mirfield for a 6.30am start and back at night. I never got to meet Tom.

Sweet set of pictures, it's nice to see some Green still working.

Went up to Ballymena to see McCullough,s TS24s working on the link road. Look to be in good order with motors running great, push loaded by a D9H. Met a engineer from F.B. McCann,s and he said that the muckshifting could be put back 6weeks because the archeologist dig has found something important. Just as the weather turns up good.

Nice pic's! Would love to hear the Jimmie's howling!

Young Chaz, I also worked for MMC mate. I worked for Nigel McCullough back in 2004 , they had a sand plant based at Lee Moor china clay works and another one in a pit in St.Austell.. They ran Liebherr wheel loaders and they are distributors for Mockeln screening machines . I also met Tom, Denver, and Jason and Nigel wasn't shy when it came to getting the egg and bacon sandwiches from the shop for snack time .
