Develon, formerly Doosan Construction Equipment, has appointed Castle Douglas-based James Gordon Ltd (Gordons), as the company’s Authorised Dealer for the whole of Scotland.
Based in Dumfries and Galloway, Gordons was already the Authorised Dealer for the Develon range in the South West and Borders regions, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Inverclyde, Renfrewshire, the Lothian Counties, Argyle and Bute, Isle of Mull, Stirling, Falkirk, Lanarkshire and Ayrshire in Scotland and for the county of Cumbria in Northern England. Now with the new appointment, the territory that Gordons is responsible for has been expanded to include Aberdeenshire, Angus, Fife, Highlands and Inverness-shire, Moray, Orkney, Perth & Kinross, Shetland & the Outer Hebrides and Skye.
Established in 1865
Gordons was established in 1865 and is a premier distributor of agricultural and construction equipment in Scotland. With six strategically placed depots, the company says it is committed to providing a fast and efficient local service for machinery, attachments and – most importantly – the best possible aftersales support. Gordons is now solely responsible for sales and servicing of the Develon crawler, wheeled and mini/midi excavator, wheel loader, articulated dump truck and attachment ranges in Scotland and Cumbria.
Kevin Fraser, Group Sales Director at Gordons, said:
“We are delighted to be representing the Develon brand throughout Scotland. We have received a good response from existing customers – as well as new prospects, there is a high existing population of Develon/Doosan machines in the areas we have added, which we have taken under our wing.”
Develon is one of the world’s leading construction, quarry and mining equipment manufacturers, offering a broad selection of products including crawler and wheeled excavators (with operating weights from 1 to 100 t), wheel loaders (covering capacities from 1.9 to 6.4 m3), articulated dump trucks (with maximum payloads up to 41 t), compact wheel loaders (from 3.5 to 5 t), dozers (up to 15 t) and products with alternative power sources.
