Axe Skip Hire was started in 1985 by John Bostock and his wife Jane. They started with just one lorry and 20 skips and over the years John and Jane built up the family business and were joined by their son James in 1997. Today, the successful business located in Kilmington, employs 12 staff with 5 Lorries and operates as a Waste Transfer Station.

Sadly in 2009 John, who was well known locally, lost his 2 year battle against cancer. The business was then passed on to John’s son James, who runs the business with the help of his wife Karen.

A family company established in 1985.
