CCE has taken delivery of more than 30 units, including the KX018, U25s, KX061, KX071, U55 and the new KX80-4 mini excavator.
Managing director Martyn Durran said: 鈥淲e鈥檝e spent many years as a second-hand plant dealer and originally had no aspiration to become a franchisee. But following our introduction to the key people at Kubota we soon recognised the huge potential that being associated with the brand offers.鈥�
He added: 鈥淲e鈥檇 worked with Kubota machinery for 18 months prior to the agreement, dealing in second-hand stock, and for us no other manufacturer can match them in the market.
鈥淭his contract marks a watershed moment for us. We鈥檝e built a new depot and invested half a million pounds in stock, a commitment we wouldn鈥檛 make if we didn鈥檛 think the products were up to scratch. We鈥檙e now predicting sales of between 拢4.5m and 拢5m within the year.鈥�
Kubota Construction business development manager Neil Winfield said: 鈥淭he reputation Chepstow Construction Equipment has in the region is fantastic and we鈥檙e delighted to begin our relationship with them.鈥�
