The family-owned firm, which has a turnover of £90m and 350 employees, owns mobile batching plants that have been supplying its own construction sites for 10 years.
Now it has decided to spin off the concrete and quarrying businesses into a separate company, Cambrian Services Ltd, wholly owned by Jones Bros Ruthin Co Ltd, to supply other contractors.
Within the new company, Cambrian Concrete Services provides concrete plant rental and site batching services. It has been appointed as the sole UK supplier of Italian-made SIMEM equipment. It is also an authorised sales and support partner for Dorner Electronic control systems.
Heading up Cambrian Concrete Services is Chris Bennett, who previously worked for SIMEM and is currently completing a concrete technology course at the University of Derby.
Jones Bros managing director John Dielhof, who is also managing director of Cambrian Services, said: “We’ve been installing, operating, servicing and relocating our own batching plants around the UK for a decade. We’ve amassed a lot of knowledge and expertise and we know how to operate them commercially for the best margins.
“Now that Chris has joined us, we have one of the UK’s most knowledgeable mixing technology specialists heading up our new venture, which is backed by the financial strength and stability of the established, privately-owned Jones Bros.”
Chris Bennett said: “Cambrian Services Ltd is set up perfectly to meet the demands of construction firms for efficient on site batching and technologically advanced equipment. They don’t need to have the expertise in-house as we can provide the knowledge and advice to deliver the specific production requirements.”
