It’s great to see Woodhorn again putting their trust in the JENZ product. Since CRJ have taken on the JENZ dealership for the UK it has been important to maintain quality customer relationships and service levels, for both existing, and new customers. The advances that Jenz have made in recent times with the new BA 916D show great improvements to operator’s ease of maintenance, ergonomic controls, and capabilities.

The Woodhorn Group Strengthens Composting Operations with Jenz BA 916D Investment
Founded in 1882, The Woodhorn Group has built a long-standing reputation as a diversified and resilient business, operating across farming, dairy, waste management, and commercial property. Based within carefully renovated agricultural buildings, the Group’s business centre acts as a hub for innovation, sustainability, and long-term operational thinking.
A key pillar of the Woodhorn Group’s portfolio is its waste management division, where green waste is processed into high-quality topsoil and compost products. This operation plays a vital role in supporting local authorities, public spaces, and commercial customers, while reinforcing the Group’s commitment to responsible resource management.
A Unified Operation with Proven Experience
Operating under a single, unified banner, The Woodhorn Group manages its varied activities through a cohesive structure that provides clarity and consistency for customers. This approach ensures clients benefit from a single point of contact, whether services involve green waste processing, compost supply, or wider commercial operations.
With composted material supplied to parks, public spaces, and local authority projects, customers engage with an experienced team backed by a trusted organisation. Processing over 100,000 tonnes of compost annually across three sites, reliability and throughput are critical — and machinery performance sits at the heart of that requirement.
Investing in JENZ Performance
Having worked extensively with JENZ equipment over many years, The Woodhorn Group recognised the importance of investing in proven technology as part of its fleet renewal strategy. This led to the decision to invest in two new Jenz BA 916D shredders, reinforcing the role of JENZ BA machines as the backbone of their composting operations.
The Jenz BA 916D is designed for professional, high-volume composting environments. It features a standard professional tooling system, including a swivelling toolbox, compressed air connection, and integrated work lights. This setup ensures operators have immediate access to essential tools and spare parts, improving efficiency and reducing downtime on site.
Following a successful machine demonstration, the decision to proceed with the BA 916D was driven by confidence in the machine’s performance, durability, and suitability for Woodhorn’s demanding composting applications.

A Seamless Transition with CRJ Services
As part of the investment process, CRJ Services worked closely with The Woodhorn Group to ensure a smooth and efficient transition from the previous dealer. Managing the handover with care and attention to detail, CRJ Services ensured continuity in support while maintaining the machine’s strong market presence and reputation.
From overseeing the sales process to ensuring operational confidence, CRJ’s approach reflected a clear commitment to customer satisfaction and long-term partnership. This focus on service excellence helped ensure the new machines were integrated seamlessly into Woodhorn’s existing operations.
A Trusted Partnership
The successful delivery of the two Jenz BA 916D shredders highlights the importance of reliable machinery, experienced support, and strong supplier relationships in the waste and composting sector. Through careful planning and collaboration, The Woodhorn Group has strengthened its processing capability while future-proofing its operations.
CRJ Services’ dedication to detail and customer support played a pivotal role in enabling this investment, further reinforcing their position as a trusted partner within the waste management industry.
