BTE Plant Sales open new depot in Droitwich

Independent construction equipment distributor opens its fourth depot to serve Central UK customers

BTE Plant Sales Ltd, a leading independent distributor of construction equipment, opened their fourth depot. The new, large, modern facility in Droitwich is located just minutes from the M42 and M5 motorways.

BTE represent leading original equipment manufacturers across a large territory that covers the North and Central UK. The new depot will serve a wide range of customers in the West Midlands, Shropshire, Worcestershire and Herefordshire, and joins the existing depots in Leyland, Leeds and BTE’s head office in Markfield, Leicestershire.

Founded in 1990 by chairman Ben Elliott (pictured second from left), BTE now represent several of the leading construction equipment manufacturers, including Thwaites site dumpers, Kubota mini-excavators, Manitou materials-handling equipment, Bomag compaction equipment, Atlas Copco compressors and Epiroc hydraulic attachments.

All four BTE depots hold stock of genuine parts and run a fleet of service vehicles, equipped with the latest diagnostic equipment, manned by experienced factory-trained engineers who provide on-site support to BTE customers throughout the territory.

Mike Roby (right of picture), BTE’s sales director, said: ‘The investment we’ve made in Droitwich shows our commitment to providing an outstanding experience for all our customers, throughout our territory. The depot will hold stock of new and used equipment, genuine parts and several of our mobile service engineers will work from the depot.

‘This will vastly improve our aftermarket response times and will provide a key facility for customers to collect parts. Our goal is to continuously improve customer service and ensure that the products we supply are fully supported throughout their lifetime.’
