OUR STORY

Browns Skip Hire was established back in 1982 by husband and wife Tom and Sharon Brown. What began as a business with a 3.5 tonne transit wagon and ten mini skips. It soon became known as the go-to skip hire firm in the Grimsby area, gaining a reputation for brilliant customer service and realistic pricing. With Tom’s flexible attitude and Sharon’s attention to detail answering the phone, it wasn’t long before Browns Skip Hire was in very high demand. To cater for this growth, Tom decided it was time to enlist a larger fleet of vehicles and start doing midi skips alongside the minis. Browns was on its way.

Over the next twenty years, the skip range continued to grow with everything from minis to 8 yard skips. The wagons grew too – and to this day Browns Skip Hire boasts a small fleet of vehicles from 3.5 tonne to 18 tonne. Although this growth changed many things about the way the business was ran, Tom never lost his core values of amazing service and a pricing policy that was fair for every customer.

With Tom entering his twilight years, he started to wind down and it was the right time for the business to be welcomed into the second generation of Browns. Tom’s son Richard took over the reins – under his father’s watchful eye. As he was coming from a project management background, Richard quickly adapted to his new environment and brought a new skillset to the business. It only took a year before Tom and Sharon decided to leave Richard to continue on with his wife Nicola. The pair began injecting fresh ideas and marketing strategies, allowing the business to grow once again.

Nowadays, Browns Skip Hire still provides the same quality service that it did over 25 years ago. A few faces may have changed, but we still believe that each and every customer should experience an easy and affordable skip service.
