Based at Castle Douglas in Dumfries and Galloway, Gordons was appointed last year as the authorised dealer for the Doosan Heavy range in the South West and Borders regions of Scotland and for the county of Cumbria in North West England.
The existing Gordons territory has now been extended with the addition of the following central-belt areas - Glasgow, Edinburgh, Inverclyde, Renfrewshire and all the Lothian Counties, Argyle and Bute, Isle of Mull, Stirling, Fife, Falkirk and the parts of Lanarkshire and Ayrshire that the company did not previously cover.
Balgownie, based at Inverurie, is responsible for the Doosan range in Aberdeenshire, Morayshire, Angus and the Highlands as well as Perthshire and Kinross-shire. To these areas have been added the Isle of Skye and remaining Highlands postcodes. Perth and Kinross had already been added 12 months earlier.
According to Doosan, Gordons and Balgownie have been awarded the extended areas purely on merit, despite very strong interest from other parties. The company is looking forward to working closely with both companies to continue its success in the Scottish market.
Gordons has six depots across its territory and will operate the new Central-Belt area through the Strathaven and Berryhill depots, with support from the headquarters branch in Castle Douglas. Balgownie will handle the extended territory from the headquarters in Inverurie and the company‘s branch in Turriff.
Founded in 1865, Gordons is a well-established and much respected agricultural machinery business in South West and Central Scotland, providing a fast, efficient local service for machinery supply and, most importantly, the best possible aftersales support with 35 service engineers, five of whom are mobile engineers dedicated to construction and Doosan trained.
Balgownie Ltd started trading as an engineering company in 1907 in sheet metal work and tank manufacturing, supplying to shipyards, farmers and the food industry before diversifying into the manufacture and supply of dairy equipment. Today, Balgownie is one of the leading specialists in construction, tractor, trailer, agriculture and groundcare machinery sales in Scotland.
Both Gordons and Balgownie are responsible for sales and servicing of the Doosan crawler, wheeled and mini/midi excavator, wheel loader and articulated dump truck ranges in their areas.
Customers of both companies benefit from superb on-site service networks, covering everything from emergency repairs to routine maintenance. The companies‘ factory-trained engineers have many years of hands-on experience of repairs and servicing of plant and machinery.
As well as covering existing contracts, Gordons and Balgownie provide flexible service agreements, depending on the requirements of the customer. They offer service and warranty work on all existing Doosan machines in their areas, backed by a full selection of genuine accessories and parts. Both companies hold a stock of new and used Doosan branded machines, to respond quickly to customers’ needs.
