After operating all types of machinery for more than 30 years, Nick Oxborough has developed expertise in all aspects of building site preparation work.
This includes digging trenches for drains or power cables, installing footings, drilling holes for piles or fencing, and doing the preparatory work for the installation of lawns and driveways.
Having established a reputation for being reliable and dependable with previous employers, Nick felt it was a good time to start out on his own.
“I wanted to give it a go myself and become more independent,” he says.
With a new 3.5-tonne digger and five-tonne tipper truck, which he owns himself, plus ready access to other essential equipment, Nick feels ready to tackle just about anything.
“No job is too big or too small,” he says.
Nick prides himself on turning up when he says he will and performing work quickly, cleanly and professionally.
Nick adds that establishing good rapport with customers is also a key part of his role.
He says when problems crop up, it’s important to be able to explain the challenges and work with the customer to find practical solutions.
Since starting out, Nick says he’s had plenty of work and his timetable has filled up quickly. However, he still expects to be able to get to new jobs in about a week.
Nick says he’s passionate about the work.
“If it’s a job you enjoy doing it motivates you to do it well. It’s something to take pride in,” he says.
