From humble roots to a global vision

A Legacy Begins

K&M Miller & Son is founded, as the family purchases a second-hand excavator to transform their farm, and soon begins helping neighbours with drainage and plant hire.

Opportunity Through Oil

The North Sea oil boom fuels growth, leading to larger contracts, more machines, and the steady expansion of the workforce.

A New Base for Growth

Frank Miller moves the business headquarters to North Lurg, Midmar, establishing the base that still anchors Miller Plant today.

A New Name, Same Values

K&M Miller & Son became Miller Plant, reflecting the company’s growth from a small family business into a leading plant hire and contracting firm in the North East.

The Next Generation Joins

Alan and Ian Miller join the family business straight from school, continuing the hands-on tradition their father and grandfather began.

Limited Company Status

MillerPlant becomes a limited company, marking its position as a leading, trusted civil contractor in the north of Scotland.

Celebrating 50 Years

Fifty years after that first machine, Miller Plant celebrates a legacy of quality, growth, and family-driven progress.

Innovation Meets Experience

Now in its fourth generation, Miller Plant delivers a full suite of services, from Earthworks and Haulage to aggregate supply, powered by cutting-edge technology and a commitment to excellence.

Driven by Legacy. Built for Impact.

Rooted in the North-East, Miller Plant combines generations of expertise with powerful machinery to deliver results that last.
