LJH based in the tiny village of Chantry on the top of the Mendip Hills has been servicing local quarries with heavy plant for years but has spread its wings since linking up with a Coventry based company under the brand name DUO
The result of a joint venture arrangement between Powerscreen Washing Systems and Hydrex, and LJH is the fruition of a business concept of "Two Working as One". LJH Group is the manufacturing component of the venture. The new company will provide the Aggregate, Recycling and Material Handling Industries with a comprehensive package of complete processing solutions including specific industrial applications for; waste transfer stations, quarrying, sugar beet, metal recycling, roads, port handling and waste paper.
LJH offers R&D facilities using the latest CAD technology enabling it to provide development facilities for other companies supplying to the mineral extraction and recycling industries. This has benefited LJH by improving its knowledge and efficiency. Having established a reputation for high quality workmanship, solid rugged design, and quick delivery LJH has decided to invest further and against the backdrop of continuing job shedding in the West Country it is invest in hiring Mechanical Engineers with in depth Autocad skills.
LJH now have an eclectic range of services, from turnkey projects, contract manufacturing, hire of mobile screening and crushing plant, sale of reconditioned used plant, as well as design services, to the supply of screening and waste sorting products.
Domestic and international opportunities abound and the ripple effect in business is being seen here as LJH are likely to be a beneficiary of £1.1 billion of increased capacity recently granted to Aggregate Industries . With companies elsewhere in the UK , like Recycoal, looking at international markets in coal recycling from Poland to Australia sub-contracting opportunities will arise.
In difficult market conditions it is great to be able to record another good news West Country business story.
