Steve Foster Cranes

04/09/2026

Sad day at Steve Foster Cranes today as we say goodbye to Mick Jones, one of our longest serving staff members and dearest friends. Mick had worked for Steve since leaving school and was part of the fabric of this company. Always smiling and willing to go the extra mile for people made him a customer favourite & his untimely passing a few weeks ago has left a massive void in all our lives that I’m not sure can ever be filled.
