From our humble founding in 1996, we’ve grown significantly. Once just a small portacabin with only a handful of low-loader trucks and older rental vehicles to our name, Runtech was initially a seed planted for unprecedented and successful corporate growth. Although then, the firm was small, the ambitions and plans for the future were much bigger, and Managing Director, Ian Gorvett, invested time, passion and energy into building the company you know and recognise today.

​Never shying away from hard work, Ian would spend hours each day providing the manual labour required for plant repair jobs, picking up his own tools to keep the business turning over. As the company began to grow, Runtech had approximately 10 employees by the year of 2000, and had started to invest in a bigger and more reliable fleet. It was also this very year, that Runtech signed their first long-term contract which then spearheaded the growth of what has now become one of the UK’s most trusted and reputable manned service providers.

Today, we are proud to boast a nationwide fleet of over 1000 items of Plant, and vehicles. We’ve also recently expanded our transport and haulage division, providing an essential service to meet all supply chain needs for many clients across the country.

Now with over 35 managed contracts secured and seven depots nationwide, we are proud to associated with the British steel family, supporting clients Tata Steel and British Steel with our environmental and site services.

​Our team has grown, and we’ve never felt more accomplished with the talent and skills demonstrated by our staff. With over 250 employees, we’re passionate about great company culture, future development and learning opportunities, career progression and giving back to those who work hard for us.

Family-founded, our core values have never changed, and we continue to support community and charitable causes in all ways that we can, from local food banks to annual fundraising and sports club sponsorships. We’re leading the way the way for a greener, cleaner future, so the success of Runtech can be beneficial to the planet too.
