New Doosan dealer for Cumbria and Southern Scotland
Dumfries and Galloway-based James Gordon Ltd appointed as authorized dealers for Doosan equipment
DOOSAN have expanded their UK dealer network with the appointment of James Gordon Ltd (Gordons). Under the new agreement, Gordons have exclusivity for sales and servicing of Doosan crawler, wheeled and mini/midi-excavators, wheel loaders and articulated dumptrucks in the south-west and Borders regions of Scotland and the county of Cumbria in north England.
Kim Dudley, Doosan regional manager – northern Europe, commented: ‘We are delighted to be able to appoint Gordons as the new Doosan dealer for Southern Scotland and Cumbria. We were impressed by Gordons’ reputation and focus on aftermarket care and a strong desire to grow their construction equipment business and customer base.
‘As a perfect illustration of this, Gordons has already secured a number of new orders for Doosan products and is taking delivery of a significant stock of new machines and parts to ensure good availability for customers in their area. Whilst some of these are existing Gordons customers, they also include a number of businesses that are new to the company, resulting in an immediate expansion of their customer base.’
Kevin Fraser, sales director for Gordons, commented: ‘We are delighted to be appointed as the new Doosan dealer and see this as a tremendous opportunity for the company. We currently employ 85 staff across our six depots and we have dedicated sales and aftermarket staff for the Doosan range already in place, working out of the four depots in Dumfries, Castle Douglas, Castle Kennedy and Whauphill, all covering our new Doosan area. We also have a Doosan-trained service engineer based in Cumbria.’
Gordons’ customers continue to benefit from the company’s on-site services, covering a wide range of operations including emergency repairs and routine maintenance. Gordons’ factory-trained engineers have many years of hands-on experience of repairs and servicing of heavy plant and machinery. The company’s service vans are fully equipped with workshop tools and extensive parts for ‘on the spot’ service work.
