Plantcraft Limited Move to Four Acre Site

Plantcraft Limited has recently acquired and moved to a large four acre site near Scunthorpe.
    Redevelopment of the site and offices is almost complete and Plantcraft's entire operation is now centralised at this location.
    The yard has been resurfaced and now provides good hard standing throughout for the large selection of used vessels kept on site.
    Adjoining the site, a fabrication workshop with overhead crane has been established where large capacity vessels are manufactured.
    Neil Vessey, Managing Director of Plantcraft Limited, welcomes visitors to view the wide range of storage tanks available for hire. (Please click on Plantcraft's address at the top left hand side of this screen for location map.)

Hollywood Places Order with Plantcraft Limited

Equipment from Plantcraft Limited was used in the James Bond film, 'Goldeneye'.
    Much of the filming was done in Hertfordshire and the large capacity cylindrical storage tanks used to simulate a Russian nerve gas plant in the story were hired from Plantcraft Limited.
    The James bond order came after the art director of the film production company saw one of the Scunthorpe company's national advertisements and contacted it about the tanks. Plantcraft subsequently supplied six 20,000 gallon capacity storage tanks.
    Managing Director, Mr Vessey, himself a film fan said this was the most unusual use that had ever been made of his tanks. He said "If the film is around as long as the old James Bond films our storage tanks will be on view for the next 30 years or so".

Plantcraft Lease for Eclipse '99

Four of Plantcraft's large capacity 20,000 gallon capacity storage tanks were loaned in Cornwall, England for water storage over the August '99 eclipse period.
With vast numbers of people visiting Cornwall at this time it was found that there was a problem with waste water which had to be stored prior to disposal.

Storage Tanks for Hire
(an extract from The Scunthorpe Evening Telegraph)

A Scunthorpe based company operating throughout the UK is offering storage tanks for hire to a wide range of businesses.
     Plantcraft Limited of Flixborough Industrial Estate, offers tanks of any transportable size ranging from 500 gallons to 20,000 gallons capacity.
     The horizontal tanks come complete with cradles to enable them to be used immediately on site.
     They are for long or short term hire and the range of tanks include those for oil products, effluents, and liquid fertiliser. The business is owned and run by Neil Vessey and was set up in the late 70's.
     Mr Vessey said "we pride ourselves on being able to offer a very quick service from our large stock of tanks held on the Flixborough Industrial Estate".
     He said that over the years the company had expanded much more than he had initially envisaged and also into areas not originally envisaged.
     A change in recent times which has led to significant work for Plantcraft has been in legislation on the disposal of effluent and waste. This now has to be stored and made safe prior to disposal.
