Doosan invests in top UK distributor
August 1st 2011 Doosan has made a major capital
investment in its top regional
distributor, Fork Truck Direct. The
Essex-based dealer sells over 100 new
Doosan forklifts each year and aims
to increase its annual turnover,
currently in excess of £3.5m, by 30 to
35% within the next 3 years. The
move follows Doosan's recent
decision to create a new standalone
business, Doosan Industrial Vehicles
(DIV).
DIV UK director and general
manager, Tim Waples, believes the six
figure investment will enable FTD to
expand their coverage, as well as
recruit additional sales and service
personnel, and help Doosan to
become the UK's dominant player.
"Fork Truck Direct has always
delivered, both in terms of being a
successful Doosan dealer and in
offering a superb regional service.We
believe the company has massive
growth potential and our investment
demonstrates our commitment to the
company and our own long-term
growth plans," explains Waples. More articles from Doosan Infracore Co. Ltd: |
