WHO IS THE ROTHEN GROUP

Located at Mancetter Wharf, Warwickshire, CV9 2RD , The Rothen Group Ltd specialise in: Waterway contracting & maintenance — work on canals, rivers, and lakes in the UK. Projects include dredging, lock and bank maintenance, marina/silt management, river & canal restoration. Marine plant & workboat hire — providing craft such as crane-boats, powered and non powered vessels, pontoon/digger hoppers, reed/weed boats, and other specialist marine equipment for hire. Civil engineering & maritime infrastructure — piling, piling repairs, access & utilities, ecology related work, marinas etc. They combine practical marine/contracting experience with environmental / ecological awareness (e.g. restoration work, reed ‐ weed management).

WHY THEY MATTER / WHAT THEY’RE GOOD AT

They provide niche but essential services that keep the UK’s inland waterways functioning safely. They both own and hire out specialist equipment and workboats — meaning they have a vested interest in maintaining high standards of equipment reliability. Because much of their work is marine / hydraulic / water ‐ exposed, equipment is exposed to moisture, silt, bio ‐ growth etc. This makes proper filtration, maintenance, and equipment protection especially important.
