Over 500 JCB Mini Diggers Ordered by Travis Perkins

Travis Perkins, one of the leading suppliers of building and construction equipment in the UK, have placed an order for 505 JCB mini diggers. The huge order will be supplied by JCB dealer Watling JCB.

JCB made the announcement after receiving confirmation from Travis Perkins for its order of 371 JCB 8014 mini excavators and 134 JCB micro excavators. The new deal cements JCb's long business relationship with Travis Perkins, who currently offer a range of JCB machines through its hire business to customers across the UK.

Yvette Henshall-Bell, UK and Ireland Sales Director for the Rochester-based construction equipment manufacturer, said the deal was hugely significant due to Travis Perkin's standing in the Uk marketplace. "We are delighted to win this repeat business from one of the UK's most respected building and construction companies," said Henshall-Bell, adding: "particularly as it was secured in the face of fierce competition from other major suppliers in our industry."

She went on to say how the deal made a statement for the quality of JCB's mini diggers for sale: "JCB has been manufacturing mini excavators for almost 30 years and this order from such a major player in our industry is testament to the quality and reliability of JCB's compact excavators."

Travis Perkins said that the decision was made based on the machine's popularity, as well as the customer service and dealer network that JCB could offer. Travis Perkins Group Hire Director, Richard Dey, said: "JCB mini diggers are extremely popular with our hire customers and they have an excellent reputation in the marketplace and that, coupled with the excellent customer relationship and comprehensive service back-up provided by Watling JCB, coupled with JCB's comprehensive dealer network, gave us no hesitation in placing this order."

JCB made news earlier this year when plant hire firm Hewden placed a £14 million order for its machines to expand its fleet.
