Maintaining the Norfolk Broads

The Broads are a big part of what makes Norfolk special, and keeping the waterways clear is essential. To help ease the navigation of boats through the Broads, Rockthorn has provided plant machinery to a well-known marine company. We are proud to say that our machinery helped them dredge the river and remove excess silt for smoother access through the water.

Empowering new housing

We are committed to supporting local builds and developments to help shape the future of Norfolk’s housing landscape. With our supplied plant machinery, construction teams were able to prepare the groundwork for a much-needed new housing project in Eaton, creating more affordable homes for the community.
