New Sunward dealer Mr Plant and Machinery Sales has scored a perfect ten within just a few weeks of joining the Sunward network, taking on the role of official distributor for Kent, Essex, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
The Chatham-based company launched its dealership on 1 June with an outstanding opening order of 43 Sunward machines. The range includes the SWE18UF, SWE25UF and SWE50UF mini-excavators, the SWE90UF compact excavator, and the SWTL4538 skid steer loader.
These Sunward machines are set to become firm favourites with customers working in construction, demolition, recycling, groundworks, solar farm installation, agriculture, utilities and plant hire.
Mr Plant and Machinery Sales managing director Lee Goodger said:
“As a family-run business with a wealth of experience, knowledge and a reputation for great customer service, I felt I was ready to take on the Sunward dealership for the South, so I took the opportunity to make some phone calls and got in front of the right people, and we worked together to make this happen.”
“I am very happy to be a part of the Sunward brand and look forward to hopefully having many years at it. We have sold 10 machines to date and are waiting for more to turn up. We had 43 machines on order to start with!”
He added: “The challenges in plant hire at the moment are that the costs of purchasing plant are going up but hire rates are staying the same, if not going down. Sunward helps with reduced up-front costs, making them a better option for plant hire companies to be competitive yet achieve the same revenue.”
“For example, Sunward’s 3.5-tonne excavator comes with air-conditioning and seven hydraulic lines as standard, and these add-ons would be subject to additional charges from other manufacturers. Relatively little factors like these make all the difference in this day and age.”
