“As equipment suppliers, wholly focused and dedicated to meeting the requirements of our customers, we will reach-out to machinery owners and operators whose priorities in terms of technical back-up and after-sales support we fully understand”
“If we have an MO, it is that sales, service and spare parts should speak as one voice, all being interlocked and none being more important than the other” he added.
Equipment that will form the core of the Metso and McHale Plant Sales crusher offering at Tamworth and Edinburgh includes the complete Lokotrack mobile crushers ranges, supported by a comprehensive spare parts operation tagged to an in-house and mobile technical back-up service.
“Priority is being given to spare parts stocking, the ‘kitting-out’ of maintenance facilities and technical support services, and to the task of contacting and getting to know customers as quickly and as best we can”.
Founded during the 1950s, McHale Plant Sales has grown to become a leading equipment distributor in Ireland and Northern Ireland working from an east-coast base near Dublin and headquarters in the mid-west near Limerick.
In operational terms, an extensive and diverse equipment portfolio has led the company to build a significant presence in construction, civil works, forestry, agriculture and environmental sectors.
In terms of style, McHale Plant Sales people (many, like McGrath, with long-service in the company) are said to be ‘down-to-earth’ in all respects, people who, one trusted insider noted: “have grown up close to the world in which they and their customers operate.”
“Far removed from Gucci shoes and fancy notions, McHale people are wholly aware of what is expected of them. Not afraid to knuckle down and get their hands dirty, UK customers will be serviced by a supplier who speaks their language and understands their needs” he added.
