Worsley Plant expand with the grand opening of their New Southern Depot
Expansion for Worsley Plant is in full swing currently. Brian Caroll has recently been appointed General Manager Southern to head up the brand new Worsley Plant depot based in Witham, Essex. Brian’s most recent role was as General Manager at Kocurek Excavators in Ipswich, which made him the ideal candidate to help Worsley Plant grow their presence in the demolition, construction and recycling markets in the South of the UK.
This expansion means that all southern based clients will now be serviced fully from Witham, allowing for a faster service and quicker product, parts and spares dispatch. The facility is ideally located close to the M25 and so provides a highly effective base for the South of the UK.
Brian commented: “I was very impressed with how I saw the company being run and the team ethic was clear straight away. I am very excited about the role and the opportunity. I am looking forward to setting it up, generating sales and being part of the Worsley team. I truly believe that the potential is huge and that if we can be successful in London then it will be massive for Worsley Plant.”
We also spoke with Sean Heron, Managing Director of Worsley Plant “Now in its 20th year, Worsley Plant has seen good organic growth over the last few years, and is now looking to increase its team across both its Middlewich and Witham depots from 18 up to 24 and will be taking on new sales people, parts and spares managers and service engineers to enable smooth development of the business. 2015 saw a turnover of £5m for us and by 2017 will be at around the £7m mark.”
“Both Rotar and REMU have been unbelievable product ranges for us, right at the top end of the market, and we will see big percentage growth next year. Lehnhoff also is a key brand for us, and in two years we have seen huge growth with their product range in the UK. Our core product is MB who provide Crushing and Screening Buckets. We’ve been with them as dealers since 2004, making us the longest established worldwide dealer. This year sees us taking possession of the biggest crusher bucket in the UK from MB, which we will have on display at Hillhead in June. This 8 tonne crusher bucket attaches to a 50 tonne machine and we have great hopes for this piece of kit.”
“We are all about quality and we want to work on getting bigger market share across the brands that we represent, we don’t want to be badge collectors and increase brands just for the sake of it, but want to concentrate on these niche brands to provide high quality products coupled with excellent service.”
“Currently we have over 400 customers across the UK and we see this growing steadily over the coming years. It’s all about our people, and we have some great staff. With people like Brian Caroll on board, I have complete faith in my team in driving the business forward.”
