AREA EXPANDED FOR BOBCAT DEALER

On the back of two and half successful years since the company was appointed as the authorised Bobcat Dealer for Greater London, Essex, West Sussex, East Sussex, Kent and Surrey in the UK, Versatile Equipment Ltd has now been appointed to represent the manufacturer in two more counties - Norfolk and Suffolk in East Anglia.

To serve the new area, Versatile Equipment has opened a brand new depot based at Willow Grove Farm in Lakenheath in Suffolk. 

Lee Chater,managing director, and co-owner of Versatile Equipment, said, “It is a happy coincidence that the expansion of our area on behalf of Bobcat has happened as we mark our 20th anniversary as a company. Back in 2003, we were established with a dedicated focus on the supply of compact loaders and attachments and over the intervening period, we have gained huge experience in the compact equipment market in the UK.” 

Andrew Wolton, district manager UK South, Sweden & Finland for Doosan Bobcat EMEA, said, “Based on their accomplishments as a Bobcat dealer, it was the obvious choice to award the additional responsibility for Suffolk and Norfolk to Versatile Equipment. We are very impressed with the facilities at the new branch in Lakenheath, which offer excellent storage, service and showroom space as well as ample external areas.”

To celebrate the opening of the new depot, Versatile Equipment held a two-day Open Day event for local customers and families at the new premises in July 2023. Against the background of live demonstrations of Bobcat equipment, visitors were able to try out the latest mini-excavators, compact loaders, telehandlers and compact tractors, together with the array of attachments
