Useless crowd anyway.....good riddance....plenty more better firms around to take the slack......

A few screen caps from a YouTube video of a DVD about diggers for children
It features some footage from one, possibly two Wrekin sites. As far I can tell the site (with the possible exception of the surfacing) is Kingswood Lakeside, Cannock from 2005-ish when Wrekin had a contract with Staffordshire County Council to undertake earthworks and infrastructure to allow the site to be turned into an industrial park.
The kit seems to be a mix of Wrekin's own and some from Hawk, CRH and Neil Becher.

I've found various Wrekin related odds and sods saved on an old USB stick, and will post some of it on here.

To start with a few images from Wrekin's website and marketing adverts:
