A bit of history? In1911, Hans Hamm designed a motor driven road roller changing the face of road work technology for good. Three major factors to be considered for this type of machinery were technical capability, ease of operation and ergonomic design. The German company has evolved into a leading provider of products delivering ground breaking machinery built to exceptional standards.
All aspects of soil and road compaction are covered by their range some of which we offer, as demonstrated by the Hamm HD 12. When used for asphalt compaction they display excellent qualities like smooth and accurate steering, acceleration and speed reduction. This is crucial when working with materials like asphalt in order to achieve perfect surface results. HD series Tandem Rollers have 3 point articulation for reliable and steady control and handling. We also have a range of high performance vibrating or non-vibrating Rollers including Bomag 80 and 120 Dual Vibrating Rollers, along with Pedestrian Rollers and a multi purpose Trench Compactor.

Beginning in 1995, Colchester & North East Essex Building Preservation Trust (CNEEBPT), is an organisation set up solely to try to acquire, restore and sell ‘at risk’ buildings in Colchester and North Essex. Any sale proceeds are then contributed towards other purchases, and the cycle repeats. The trust also fund research relevant to the cause, and generally help with books and pamphlets where possible.
The Board of Trustees who run the organisation are composed of heritage experts, councillors and conservation professionals with a common aim. They actively create opportunities and support and assist other groups in and around Colchester who are attempting to regenerate historic buildings. This type of trust are often registered charities, who are not for profit organisations, and who work for the benefit of the local community. They can usually also access sources of money unavailable to councils or private developers.
