About from company website

Ruttle is a multinational provider of plant hire, demolition, earthworks, heavy haulage, waste recycling, and aggregate supply, with a rich history spanning over seven decades. Founded in 1958, the company initially offered agricultural equipment rentals before expanding into construction and plant hire. Over the years, Ruttle has diversified its operations through international expansion into Canada and the US, the formation of Ruttle Contracting for construction and civil engineering projects, and the establishment of Ruttle Properties for housebuilding and property development.

Today, Ruttle upholds its core values of hard work, customer satisfaction, and sustainable practices. The company is committed to providing safe, efficient, and cost-effective solutions across its diverse service offerings, including bulk earthworks, civil engineering, haulage, and recycling. With a client-first approach, Ruttle tailors bespoke solutions to meet the unique requirements of projects of all sizes, from small housing developments to major infrastructure works.

Sustainability is central to Ruttle's operations, demonstrated through its modern, low-emission fleet and a significant reforestation initiative in Scotland, where over 421,000 trees have been planted since 2017. This commitment to environmental responsibility, combined with a focus on quality, innovation, and safety, positions Ruttle as a leader in the construction industry, a trusted partner for businesses and contractors across the UK and internationally.
