At Plantforce, our success hinges on the dedication, passion, and teamwork of the people behind the scenes. This week, we’re spotlighting three individuals who truly embody the values of our company: Sam Banks, Kevin “Jimmy” Smith, and Scott Warman. Their efforts, commitment, and can-do spirit continue to set new standards across the business.

Sam and Jimmy are the definition of teamwork in action. Whether it’s Sam leading the charge on cleaning, prepping, and spray-painting machines, or Jimmy juggling plant deliveries while lending a hand in the Bury yard, their combined efforts go far beyond the ordinary. Their recent work on a Kobelco SK210 excavator showcased not only their expertise but also their ability to deliver under pressure, ensuring equipment is always in prime condition.

But what truly sets this duo apart is their can-do attitude. Even with limited resources, Sam and Jimmy ensure standards never slip, taking immense pride in their work. Their dedication extends beyond Plantforce, during extreme weather, they cleared roads to ensure safe access for colleagues, a nearby school, and even local drivers. It’s this spirit of going above and beyond that makes them indispensable.

Their “One Team” ethic shines through in every task they undertake. From prepping stock for other depots to stepping in to help their teammates with a smile, Sam and Jimmy represent what it means to be part of the Plantforce family.

“Sam and Jimmy, your hard work and positivity do not go unnoticed—you are true credits to the business. Let’s all take a moment to appreciate their efforts in making the Bury depot shine, no matter the challenges.” states Claire Trott.

Scott is the ultimate professional when it comes to delivering exceptional service. His work at HPC has been nothing short of outstanding, ensuring customers receive the support they need with minimal downtime. Through top-tier servicing and maintenance, Scott consistently meets and exceeds expectations.

Scott’s ability to balance multiple sites without compromising on quality is what makes him stand out. When the call came to cover operations at Devonport Docks, he stepped up without hesitation, bringing the same level of precision and reliability that customers and colleagues have come to count on.

His customer-first approach ensures every piece of equipment is maintained to the highest standard, and every issue is handled swiftly and expertly. 

“Scott, your dedication and ability to handle multiple sites while maintaining Plantforce’s high standards do not go unnoticed.  Thank you for being a shining example of the one team ethic and for always going above and beyond!” says Nicki Reed.

Let’s take a moment to celebrate their achievements and thank them for their remarkable contributions. Sam, Jimmy, and Scott, you’re the force that keeps us moving forward and we couldn’t be prouder. Well done team!
