What is Rabbit Group?

What is Rabbit Group?

Established in 1988, the Rabbit Group has been a familiar face in and around West Sussex for around 35 years.

A proud part of the Worthing and Lancing community, our distinctive logo can be spotted regularly in sponsorship of local events and on commercial vehicles and skips in the surrounding areas.

A commitment to a greener environment is the enduring ethos which has always underlined everything we do. And over the years, Rabbit Group has expanded to provide a whole host of services which are now available throughout Sussex, and in Surrey, London, Hampshire and Kent.

But what is it that lies behind the green rabbit? Here’s a guide to what we do:

Rabbit Skip Hire Services

Rabbit Skips is a Sussex skip hire service for collection and recycling of waste throughout the whole of East and West Sussex. There is a choice of several skip sizes available for both domestic and commercial use, from small house and garden clearances to large industrial demolition projects.

You can either book a skip online using our simple skip booking system, or, give us a call on 01903 762020.

Rabbit Demolition Services

Despite being a West Sussex based demolition contractor, we regularly carry out demolition projects in London and across the Home Counties, too.

Using specialised demolition equipment, a wide range of demolition machines and our own skilled operatives, we can tackle anything from small house demolition to large industrial commercial building demolition.

Speak to one of our demolition experts on 01903 762020, or email enquiries@rabbitdemolition.co.uk.

Plant Hire Services

The Rabbit & Dowling plant hire division is made up of a wide variety of plant hire equipment for commercial building projects throughout Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire.

Equipment which is available for hire includes excavators, dumpers, forklifts rollers and telescopic handlers.

With more than 300 pieces of kit to choose from, we offer free site visits to our customers. This enables us to recommend and provide all the support required to get up and running safely.

Our machines are easy-to-use, and they come in many sizes to suit different projects. We can also provide trained staff to operate the plant hire equipment, where required.

Portable Toilet Hire

Portable toilet hire is available for a wide range of public events and commercial construction sites across the whole of Sussex.

Customers using our portable toilet hire services benefit from the very best quality facilities at standard prices. These benefits include forearm length sinks with a cold-water foot pump feed, liquid soap dispensers and flushable paper towel dispensers, a recirculating flush system to reduce water use and biodegradable toilet paper.

Together the services provided by the Rabbit Group offer a comprehensive solution for all your building and construction requirements, as well as an effective waste management solution for domestic and commercial customers.

Using our many years of experience as a Sussex family business, we are committed to serving the needs of our community and the environment around us.

Rabbit Group In The Community

The Rabbit Group logo is likely to be a familiar one for most people living and working in West Sussex and the surrounding areas.

In addition to the services which we have continued to provide for around 35 years, our sponsorship of local sports teams, such as Worthing Football Club and support for local charities, has shown just how committed we are as a West Sussex business, to supporting the community around us.

Now, in addition to regularly supplying waste removal, plant hire, demolition services, skip hire and recycling services for local projects, we also provide portable toilet hire for construction projects and large events taking place across the county, with the latest branch of our business – Rabbit Toilet Hire.

The portable toilets come equipped with that extra bit of quality, with features which include more room to manoeuvre, forearm length sinks, liquid soap dispensers, a recirculating flush system to reduce water usage and their very own unique Rabbit Toilet Hire branding, so it makes it hard to miss us!

Rabbit Group’s new-look websites set to make life easier for customers

Posted on

Rabbit Group is pleased to announce the launch of a new suite of websites designed to make things more straightforward for our valued waste management, plant hire, skip hire and demolition customers and better reflect our company’s evolution and expansion.

We now have dedicated websites for our skip hire, plant hire, and demolition services, as well as one for the umbrella organisation, Rabbit Group. Ultimately, these changes make it simpler and faster for customers to find the information and help they need.

We’re a local, family-run business, and our grounding in the local community will always remain important to us. Updating our websites has allowed us to be even clearer about our commitment to both the environment and our local community. Our new skip hire site provides more information than ever about our Energy Recovery Facility that generates green electricity and provides a much-needed residual waste solution. And at a group level, we celebrate our close community links, including our long standing relationships with St Barnabas House, Chestnut Tree House and local sports clubs.

On a practical level, the new websites feature even more information about our ever-expanding line-up of services, and we’ve made it easier to book equipment. Our new websites are also mobile-friendly, meaning that bookings can be made wherever you are.

It’s the same team at the helm, so you can expect the same high levels of service that you’ve always had.

To find out more about Rabbit Group,  our friendly team are just a phone call or email away to answer any questions.
