Global Machinery Solutions

Global Machinery Solutions has been providing high-quality machinery across the UK, Ireland and Europe for more than 20 years.

The company was originally established as BE Recycling Ltd in 2004 as the UK-appointed distributor for Bandit Industries selling the beast recyclers, woodchippers and stump grinders – with approved sub-dealers in Europe.

It joined the Buckle family’s Heathpatch group in 2006 as Global Recycling Solutions and has since grown to be one of the most trusted and reliable distributors of specialist machinery to the forestry, recycling, construction, aggregates and confidential shredding industries.

After a rebrand to Global Machinery Solutions in 2022, the company is now the only UK-approved distributor for a range of world-renowned brands, including Bandit, Jo Beau, Norwood, Frontier, Pezzolato and Anaconda. It’s also a dealer for leading excavating and recycling machinery manufacturers SANY and Pronar.

Customers range from sole traders to major European infrastructure companies and there’s a huge emphasis on looking after them before, during and after they invest in a new machine.

Global has a centrally-located depot in Long Bennington, Nottinghamshire – and another in Mildenhall, Suffolk – meaning the team is accessible from all corners of the UK & engineers are never too far away to assist when needed.

The Long Bennington depot is home to a large parts warehouse with more than £2m worth of stock, which helps engineers to repair machines even more quickly. Plus, customers can buy parts online and either have them delivered or collect them from the trade counter.

There’s been a particular focus on the forestry industry recently with Global now offering a wide range of woodchippers, stump grinders from Bandit, Pezzolato, Pronar and Jo Beau. The team is also keen to showcase the versatility of construction and recycling machines and how they can be used as part of certain woodland operations.

Within the construction world, Global distributes SANY’s range of excavators, telehandlers and other roadwork machinery. Excavators are ideal for forestry management, and Global has been working with tree professionals to demonstrate their capabilities –particularly in the confines of a densely wooded area.

The shift towards sustainability has seen a surge in the sawmill market too and Global has seen an increase in professionals and hobbyists enquiring about the Norwood and Frontier sawmills so they can process their own timber.

One customer who’s benefitted from Global’s forestry expertise is Suffolk farmer Mick Murfitt. He now owns an excavator, woodchipper and sawmill to manage his 65 acre woodland and producing timber for his own fencing and outbuildings.

Mick said, “The excavator, sawmill and woodchipper are now fundamental in my operations. I had never milled or processed wood before I met Global Machinery Solutions’ Andy Dudley – and without his advice and onsite demonstrations, I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish what I’ve done on the farm. His knowledge is exceptional, and I can’t thank him enough.”

Recycling machines, which are widely used by skip hire businesses for example, are also useful for the forestry industry to shred and repurpose green waste, rather than taking it to landfill.

Freedom Recycling’s investment in a new Pronar shredder and SANY excavator has seen its wood and waste processing capability increase to 700 tonnes per month. Managing Director, Paul Boyle, said, “We’re an important cog in the growing construction and recycling sectors so having the right equipment is extremely important. I am delighted how Global Machinery Solutions have helped us achieve this with our shredder and excavator – and grateful for their continued support.”

Meeting people, chatting to them and demonstrating how their wide range of machines can benefit businesses and individuals is another big focus for Global and each year the team hits the road to attend various events.

They’re already gearing up for a packed show season and taking various state-of-theart machines from Bandit, SANY, Jo Beau, and Pezzolato to industry-leading forestry, landscaping, recycling and construction exhibitions.

Global Machinery Solutions is incredibly proud of the industry reputation it has achieved. It hopes to continue its outstanding level of growth and aspires to become one of the best-known machinery distributers across the industries it supplies, while creating significant employment opportunities.
