Wiltshire-based MJ Church, headquartered in Marshfield near Chippenham, which has secured work on civil engineering projects throughout the South West, has announced a £1.1m investment in new equipment as part of its plans for growth.

The company has acquired four new articulated dumper trucks to add to its fleet of 25 vehicles in response to growing demand from its customers.

The family-run business is currently undertaking earthworks for construction company Morgan Sindall on behalf of its client National Grid for the Dorset Visual Impact Provision Project.
