A Journey of Growth and Innovation
Since its incorporation in 1999 by founders Lee Carter, Kevin Jones, and Andrew Reed, CRJ Services has consistently expanded its operations, forging a reputation for excellence. What began with a simple mission to process green waste has evolved into a comprehensive service offering, including equipment hire, sales, aftermarket parts, and service expertise across waste, recycling, and forestry sectors.
CRJ’s success has been built on its unwavering commitment to helping the UK recycle, a dedication that has been recognised through nominations and awards from renowned industry bodies. With an unwavering focus on becoming the best provider in the industry, CRJ has achieved several key milestones over the years, such as becoming a dealer for Bruce Engineering, and an exclusive dealer for JENZ GmbH, HAAS Recycling Systems, and Pronar Trommel Screeners in the UK and Ireland. These partnerships, along with an expanding hire fleet of over 110 machines, underscore CRJ’s dedication to delivering top-tier services to its customers.

Whether it’s a challenging project or day-to-day operations, CRJ’s team is united in their pursuit of excellence, always going the extra mile to meet customer needs and exceed expectations.
