Our Story

Iron & Earth was built on a simple idea — do things properly. No gimmicks, no hard sell, just honest machinery and straight-talking advice. What started as a small, family-run operation in Gloucestershire has grown into a trusted name in used plant machinery across the UK and beyond.

This year marks 10 years of Iron & Earth, and while a lot has changed, the way we do business hasn’t. We still believe in picking up the phone, telling it how it is, and making sure every customer knows exactly what they’re buying.

Built Around Real Industry Experience

Our team comes from hands-on backgrounds in plant, agriculture, and machinery, so we understand what matters on site. Whether it’s a first machine for a self-builder or fleet stock for a national hire company, we know reliability, condition, and honesty matter more than anything else.

More Than Just a Machinery Dealer

Today, Iron & Earth supplies a wide range of used plant equipment including excavators, dumpers, rollers, telehandlers and more — alongside new machinery from Solis and CFMOTO. But we’re not just here to sell machines. We support our customers with servicing, parts, and ongoing advice to keep things moving long after the sale.

UK-Wide & Global Reach

While we’re based between Junction 13 and 14 of the M5, we work with customers right across the UK and regularly export machines worldwide. From local groundworkers to international buyers, we’ve built relationships based on trust, reliability, and doing what we say we will.

Looking Ahead

As we move into our next chapter, we’re continuing to invest in stock, systems, and service — making it easier than ever to find the right machine quickly, with the confidence that it’s been properly prepared and honestly represented.
