Bobcat has announced changes in the dealers responsible for sales and service of their range of equipment in Yorkshire.

The manufacturer has appointed Grays Machinery Ltd, based in Bedale, as the new authorised Bobcat dealer for North and West Yorkshire.

The company has also extended the area covered by AMS Bobcat Limited, based in Scunthorpe, to include South Yorkshire. AMS is already the authorised Bobcat Dealer for Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire.

Sandy Gray, owner/director of Grays Machinery, said, “We are very proud to be appointed by Bobcat. We bring a lot of local knowledge, expertise, experience and enthusiasm to selling and supporting the Bobcat range in Yorkshire. I believe there are many fantastic opportunities to expand sales for Bobcat in this region in agriculture, construction and rental markets as well as many other areas.”

Paul Hyslop, the Bobcat district manager UK North, said, “I am very impressed with the service Grays can offer in North and West Yorkshire. Combined with their familiarity with the local market and their dedication, drive and passion for the Bobcat range, I am confident Grays will be an excellent dealer. The company has proved to be quick off the mark, recording their first sale of a E17 mini-excavator just three days after taking over the dealership.”

As well as the entire Bobcat range of machines and attachments, Grays also offers a full selection of genuine Bobcat accessories and parts to support both new and existing Bobcat customers in its area. This is backed up by a stock of both brand new and second hand Bobcat machines for sale. Customers also benefit from Grays’ on-site service network, covering everything from emergency repairs to routine maintenance.

In contrast to Grays, AMS Bobcat has been a Bobcat dealer for over 25 years. Steve McIntosh, managing director of AMS Bobcat, said, “Congratulations to Grays on their new appointment. We are delighted that Bobcat has shown confidence in us by extending our area to cover South Yorkshire. This is the latest development in the long relationship between our companies and we look forward to many more years of working together.”

Paul Hyslop commented, “We are very pleased to have our newest dealer in Grays and one of our oldest, AMS, working alongside each other, representing Bobcat in different parts of Yorkshire. Both are professional companies that are easy to do business with. Their dedication and reliable aftercare service help to ensure the smooth running of Bobcat equipment in their areas.”
