Liebherr-GB add to their depot network

Company expands earthmoving equipment service centre coverage with opening of new facility in Sheffield   

LIEBHERR-Great Britain Ltd’s growth strategy in the UK has entered the next phase with the opening of another new service centre for earthmoving equipment – this time in Sheffield.

Despite the economic downturn, the company says construction machinery sales and equipment rental continue to perform well, and recruitment also remains at a healthy level with major investments in engineering and product support personnel.

The new Sheffield depot is located at the Advanced Manufacturing Park on Whittle Way, where modification work to the premises to comply with Liebherr’s specific requirements is now complete.

The service centre will provide spare parts and depot support to customers and the field service engineering team already located in the area, enhancing the range of after-sales services on offer.

Gerry McKinstry, Liebherr’s national after-sales manager - Earthmoving Division, said: ‘The new service centre in Sheffield further improves our national coverage and will fulfil an important role in delivering high-quality and quick-response after-sales support to our customers in the region.’

Liebherr’s depot network in the UK and Ireland now includes Aberdeen, Bathgate, Sunderland, Wigan, Sheffield, Cannock, Biggleswade, Weston-super-Mare and Rathcoole near Dublin.
