£800,000 investment at North Yorkshire depot creates new jobs

Biker Group, which provides a wide range of services to the construction industry, is investing £800,000 to expand the services at its newest depot with the creation of jobs.

The family-owned company has invested in a new concrete batching plant and two concrete mixer trucks at its site at Dalton Industrial Estate, near Thirsk.

Among the group’s portfolio of services it offers to the construction industry are haulage, groundworks, bespoke joinery, construction, waste management and recycling.

Biker Group opened the Dalton depot 12 months ago, and the latest investment will expand the services it offers to a range of customers across Yorkshire and the North East, including commercial clients, house builders and the agriculture industry.

Sam Biker, Biker Group’s operations, said: “The new plant and mixer trucks will support the continued growth of our concrete division. The investment is part of a five-year strategic plan to expand all divisions across the business.

“There will be on-going investment in plant and personnel, and growing the concrete division is in line with the company’s vision. The latest investment is also in response to demand from domestic and commercial customers, as well as housebuilders and the farming industry.”

This expansion has created five additional jobs at Dalton, including drivers, a batcher and office staff.

Established nearly 50 years ago by Tony Biker, Biker Group has 176 direct employees and, over the past five years, more than 70 new jobs have been created.
