ABOUT STEPTOES YARD

Steptoe’s Yard Ltd and its sister company Hardcore Crushing Ltd are two small family companies owned and operated by Andrew Shorten and his wife Kathryne.

Together these companies employ 27 staff and operatives and both operate from a 12-acre reclamation yard in Altham, near Accrington.

Both Companies became incorporated in 2006 and in recent years have achieved steady growth which has, in turn, allowed significant reinvestment into new plant and equipment in order to help secure the companies’ place in the market going forward. Despite the recent economic downturn we have continued to expand the business and have started to move away from the provision of operated demolition plant on a sub-contract basis, to carrying out the role of Principal Demolition Contractor on a growing number of schemes, and the Company has recently employed a new Contracts Manager & Estimator with 30 years of experience in the construction industry in order to help take the Company forward into its next phase of growth.

One of our Company core values is that ‘we must try to ensure that the world we leave behind is better than, the one we found’ and a key part of this vision is to help the construction industry procure materials in a sustainable manner and recycle wherever possible.… hence our Company logo – “Recycling the Past for the Future”
