A new JCB dealership for Staffordshire and other key areas of The Midlands has been created to harness huge growth opportunities in the region.
As part of the move, Midlands JCB has bought three depots owned by Gunn JCB in Stoke-on-Trent as well as Smethwick and Hereford.
The new business will operate as the primary JCB construction dealer for the West Midlands, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Herefordshire, and Worcestershire.
It will be under the ownership and management of former JCB employees David Hill as Managing Director and Alistair Reekie as Sales Director.
David Hill said: “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, to ensure continuity for all existing customers.
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.”
