Subsequently, the business became known has SRBE. Over the years it expanded and also acquired a number of other local companies including Croughton Tool Hire, Fenny Tool Hire, and Woburn Fixings. SRBE joined the IPHG family in 2016 and has since seen substantial investment in upgrading its fleet of excavators, dumpers, compaction equipment, and telehandlers. Jovic Plant was set up in 1971 as a contractor evolving to become a plant hire business in 1980. The business was family owned through 2 generations prior to joining the IPHG family in November 2017. With the long term team staying in place and consolidation to a newly enlarged depot just outside Chelmsford, Jovic Plant is well positioned to serve small and large customers in the Essex and surrounding areas. As well as running a large fleet of excavators, dumpers, and compaction equipment, Jovic has a specialism in pumps and traffic management. More recently IPHG have added telehandlers to the Jovic fleet.
