SIMON AUGHTON
Director
Simon Aughton is our director & CEO of Aughlton Plant Services."From the age of 13 i started working on a local farm until i was ready for college. Whilst working on the farm i started learning and becoming very fond of mechanics, driving tractors and fixing diggers.With working on the farm i had a great start to my career.I always knew where and what i wanted to be doing.After my 3 years of college where i gained my NVQ Levels, i started looking at what to do next so i looked into local plant hire places when i came across D Jones plant hire, Denbigh, where i started at apprentice level.I was with D Jones Plant Hire for 4 years as a workshop and mobile mechainc. As a keen young lad i was always going round doing jobs in the evenings and on weekends which helped get my name out there.After my time at D Jones i got the opportunity to move onto cranes where i began working for Bob Franics Crane Hire, aged 19 becoming a mobile crane mechainc.With Bob Franics i excelled massivley with current and new skills such as mechiancs and electric skills.I then decided to put myself in to night school learning about electronics and hydraulics.
