GROWTH IS THE FOCUS AS NEW JCB DEALER OPENS FOR BUSINESS

New JCB dealership for Midlands News

A new JCB dealership for key areas of The Midlands has been created to harness huge growth opportunities in the region, it was announced today.

As part of the move, Midlands JCB has bought three depots owned by Gunn JCB in Smethwick, Stoke-on-Trent, and Hereford. The change in ownership is a crucial step in JCB's growth in the region, which is set to attract considerable investment in the future.

The new business will operate as the primary JCB construction dealer for the West Midlands, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, Herefordshire, and Worcestershire and will be under the ownership and management of former JCB employees David Hill as Managing Director and Alistair Reekie as Sales Director.

We are thrilled to begin operations as Midlands JCB and build on the great work of Gunn JCB, while focussing on new growth opportunities in this very important region. We look forward to working with new and existing customers to provide exceptional products and service, focusing on outstanding local support.

The business will operate out of established dealer facilities in Stoke-on-Trent, Hereford, and Smethwick, which will become the new headquarters of Midlands JCB, ensuring continuity for all existing customers. Customers can continue to access parts, and book service and support from each depot. All existing Gunn JCB staff from the three depots have been transferred to Midlands JCB.

Alistair Reekie added: "We want to assure our customers that this change will not affect the quality of service they receive from their local JCB dealer, who will continue to receive exceptional service from our team.”
