From humble beginnings to becoming a leading provider of waste, recycling, and forestry equipment with a full spectrum of services, we’ve dedicated ourselves to driving the UK and Ireland towards a greener future.

 

Our Journey of Growth and Innovation
When our founders Lee Carter, Kevin Jones, and Andrew Reed incorporated CRJ in 1999, we started with a simple mission: processing green waste. Today, we’ve grown into something much bigger, offering comprehensive services including equipment hire, sales, aftermarket parts, and service expertise across waste, recycling, and forestry sectors.


We’ve always focused on becoming the best provider in the industry, and we’re proud to have achieved significant milestones along the way. We’ve become the exclusive dealer for JENZ GmbH, HAAS Recycling Systems, and Pronar Trommel Screeners in the UK and Ireland. With our expanding hire fleet of over 110 machines, we’re better equipped than ever to deliver top-tier solutions to our customers. Our success has been built on our unwavering commitment to helping the UK recycle, a dedication that has been recognised through nominations and awards from various renowned industry bodies.

 

The Values That Drive Us
Everything we do at CRJ is guided by our core values:

  • One Team
  • Customer First
  • Deliver the Best

 

These aren’t just words on a wall, they are the principles that unite our entire CRJ family. We take pride in our work and we’re committed to providing exceptional service. Whether we’re tackling a challenging project or handling day-to-day operations, our team goes the extra mile to exceed our customers’ expectations.

 

Our Leadership Team
CRJ thrives under a leadership team that blends deep industry experience with proven innovation.


Andrew Clarkson, Finance Director, architects our financial strategy with nearly three decades of business transformation experience. Since joining in 2022, he’s streamlined our operations and strengthened our investment in sustainable growth.


Ben McQuaid transformed CRJ’s market presence when he joined as Sales Director through the 2016 Matpro merger. Under his guidance, we’ve evolved from equipment supplier to industry leading solutions provider, expanding our reach across the recycling sector.

 

As Compliance Director and founding member, Lee Carter champions our environmental mission. His vision has established CRJ as a pioneer in sustainable practices, setting new benchmarks for environmental responsibility in the waste management industry.

 

Rob Symons embodies CRJ’s commitment to excellence. Rising from driver/operator in 2004 to Operations Director, his hands-on experience and customer-first approach have become legendary in the industry.

 

Looking to Our Future
In preparation for the next 25+ years, we’re focused on expanding our brand across the UK and Ireland, establishing ourselves as industry experts ready to share our knowledge and experience with corporate and government leaders. With a strong leadership team, a dedicated workforce, and a commitment to sustainable practices, we’re excited to continue our growth, helping advance the UK and Ireland toward a greener, more sustainable future.

 

At CRJ Services Ltd., we provide complete waste, recycling, and forestry equipment solutions across the UK and Ireland. From machine sales and hire, servicing, and aftermarket parts, we offer a full suite of services for top-tier equipment like shredders, trommel screeners, and chippers.
