What makes our vacuum excavation operators elite?

Even though vacuum excavation technology has advanced rapidly to produce a much quicker, non-invasive process, it doesn’t mean that anyone should or can operate it. To carry out safe and efficient excavations across any sector, operators should be working at the highest level. Thankfully, John Mee Vac-Ex Hire inspires confidence throughout the industry with its ‘elite’ operators – but what makes them elite?
