Mammoet UK - which has a large base at Stockton - has invested £8million in new equipment to deliver landmark energy and infrastructure projects

The move has helped create ten new jobs in the region with many more opportunities being offered nationwide to support delivery of landmark projects recently backed by the UK Government.

Mammoet has seen demand for its heavy lifting and transport services increase significantly as the UK commits to meet its net zero carbon emissions target of 2050.

This has resulted in a tranche of wind, nuclear, carbon reduction and other projects coming online to drive the energy transition.

To facilitate the delivery of these key projects, components of varying size are typically installed via the kind of specialist heavy lifting, transportation equipment and expertise in which Mammoet specialises.

The team is based across eight different facilities in the UK and this new investment in a range of cranes will allow Mammoet to expand the number of skilled jobs it offers.

“We have experienced significant growth and we are proud to invest in additional cranes and personnel to support our customers’ needs,” said MD Mark Sadler.

“With these additions, we can continue to deliver safe and efficient lifting solutions that meet the growing demands of our clients across the UK.”
