Hitachi Construction Machinery UK (HCMUK) is proud to recognise the continued growth and success of Touchstone Civil Engineering, a company that has quickly become a standout force in the industry since its establishment in 2024 by Managing Director Tobi Williams.
In a remarkably short time, Touchstone has evolved into a modern, forward‑thinking leader in civil engineering and groundwork services. The company is widely recognised for its commitment to quality, innovation, and exceptional project delivery. With more than 30 years of combined industry experience, the Touchstone team continues to provide tailored solutions that meet the complex demands of clients across the sector.
HCMUK is delighted to support Touchstone’s latest fleet expansion, which marks another significant milestone in the company’s rapid development. Touchstone currently operates 14 Hitachi machines, and with the arrival of 16 new units - including eight ZX130LC‑7B’s and eight ZX210LC‑7’s, the company’s Hitachi fleet now totals 30 machines.
Many of these new units are equipped with Leica machine control base kit technology, and Touchstone utilises Leica cab kits through HCMUK’s Hitachi Connected Technology rental programme. This ensures operators benefit from enhanced precision and efficiency, on every project.
The investment has also been made possible through ZAXIS Finance, providing Touchstone with a flexible and reliable funding solution that supports its long‑term growth strategy.
This substantial expansion reinforces Touchstone Civil Engineering’s commitment to maintaining a cutting‑edge, high‑performance fleet, and HCMUK is proud to play a key role in supporting the company’s ongoing success.
Jon Barnfield, Midlands Sales Director commented, “We are absolutely thrilled to support Touchstone’s continued investment in Hitachi machinery. Their latest fleet expansion is a tremendous milestone, and it’s great to see how central Hitachi equipment has become to their growing operations.
We are pleased to have had the opportunity to offer Touchstone our whole package, from factory fit machine control to financing through our ZAXIS Finance solution, making the sales process as seamless as possible for the team.
Touchstone Civil Engineering is an ambitious and forward‑thinking business, and we’re proud to stand alongside them as a trusted partner as they continue to scale and succeed.”
