TJ believes in investing in their staff and advocates continuing professional development within their workforce. Here we meet a TJ employee who has benefitted from this ethos.

The long Easter weekend is always a popular time for skip hire. For TJ, 2019 has been a bumper year, with 123 skip deliveries made on Thursday for use over the bank holiday weekend. Simon Dewan, Transport Planner, is instrumental in ensuring the smooth running of TJ’s skip hire enterprise.

Butser Quarry is known for its supply of rock chalk, but hadn’t been used for some years when TJ purchased it in 2017. TJ wanted to be able to supply their own aggregates to the construction industry and now with Butser Quarry fully operational, they are able to do so.

John joined TJ in 2017 after the acquisition of their two quarries – the Forest Lodge (Hythe) site and Butser Quarry in Petersfield. John has over 40 years’ experience in quarrying and landfill and brings a great deal of expertise and knowledge to the role.
