Plank Bros Ltd · Est. 2000
About us
A dedicated team providing a professional service — family-run, straightforward, and on the ground.
Family farmers, proper contracting
Plank Bros Ltd is a family-run agricultural contracting business operated by brothers Robin and Jeremy Plank. We have been contracting since 2000, building the firm on repeat customers and word of mouth rather than noise or gimmicks.
Our working standard
Farmers and landowners remember who turned up on time, respected the yard, and left the job done properly. That is the standard we hold ourselves to — reliable, straightforward, and practical when the weather and the season refuse to wait.
What we are built on
No corporate handbook — just how we like to work, and how our customers expect to be treated.
Established & hands-on
Contracting since 2000 means we have seen good seasons, bad seasons, and everything in between. Robin and Jeremy stay involved — you deal with the people who actually run the kit.
Straight answers
We will tell you if a job fits, when we can slot it in, and what we need from you on the day. No over-promising, no vague timings.
Done properly
Tidy headlands, careful passes, and respect for gates, tracks, stock, and neighbours. The sort of work that earns a call next season.
How we work with people
- Repeat business Most of our work comes from farmers and estates who book us again — or pass our name on down the road.
- Word of mouth We do not chase headlines. A good reputation in the yard travels further than any advert.
- Weather and windows We know contracting lives or dies on timing. We plan properly and communicate when things shift.
Who we work with · where we work
We work for farmers, estates and landowners across Berkshire and the surrounding counties — Oxfordshire, Wiltshire and Hampshire. Around Newbury, Thatcham, Hungerford, Pangbourne and Theale we are often only a short run from the field.
