  • French Group UK
    Ellis's Hill farm, Sindlesham Road, Ellis's Hill farm Sindlesham Road Arborfield Berks, Arborfield, RG2 9JG, GB

    About Road Planings Supplies Road Planings Supplies is a family-owned firm of tipper haulage contractors based in central Berkshire. We have a long history of working with surfacing contractors and utility companies, transporting milled road planings from highway maintenance projects. We also supply recycled road planings for agricultural track and yard improvement programs, as well as a range of other aggregates. In addition, we undertake various civil engineering projects. We are proud to offer a reliable, friendly service with safety and civility at the core of our business. Our mission is to provide our clients with the highest quality service and materials, delivered on time and within budget. Our History The company is run by father and son Keith and Jack French and their team, from the family base at Arborfield in Berkshire. Keith’s father Peter was involved in a varied range of demolition and construction work as well as daily muck away contracts from the factories in the Slough area throughout the 1950s and 60s. Peter was a phenomenally hard-working man. In the early days, it would have been no surprise to anyone to see him loading a 10-ton tipper with a shovel, or what he would call it the ‘1RB’! The first lorry he drove on this work was a little Commer Superpoise. This was replaced with a Ford Thames Trader with a 6 cubic yard Anthony body. He never liked this vehicle very much.  Although reliable, he declared ‘it was like trying to drive sitting on the floor’. The arrival of the Bedford TK in 1960 on the market was a turning point. This was a huge advance in vehicle design, lacking only the essential advantage of having a tilt cab. The small fleet of three 10 ton vehicles with high drop-sides was maintained to the highest standards, with the minimum of facilities. Despite the grueling work, they were put to drawing starches and dextrins waste from Starch Products of Langley and paint products from ICI at Slough. Throughout their working life, Peter would have the engines out for rebuild and the same with axles and gearboxes. Broken half shafts were an everyday occurrence. Besides this work, they were engaged on demolition, particularly of the farm cottages scattered across the area east of the village of Datchet, which was designated for the construction of the huge reservoirs in the 1960s.  Yellow stock London bricks from this job were cleaned and re-used to build a new house for Peter’s family in 1963. The shovel soon gave way to machine with the arrival of one of the first Chaseside hydraulic loaders. Based on a Fordson Major, this revolutionised the task. It was followed by an early JCB3 that P
