C T Scott have expanded into retail by opening a Powered By Kramp retail store at its Insch depot in Aberdeenshire.

Craig Scott, managing director of C T Scott, says the decision to open a retail store was linked to their plans to take the next step in the growth of their machinery business.

“We had outgrown our office, needed a bigger workshop, and wanted to recruit someone to manage our parts department,” says Craig. “The decision was made to build a completely new building alongside our workshop (at the Insch depot), giving us a separate parts department, retail shop and new office space.

“We looked at several shop suppliers. We went with Kramp because they are professional at it, have a team dedicated to doing retail shops, research what sells and have a team to do the installation. Nobody else could offer the variation or the team behind it,” explains Craig.

Kramp retail consultant Gary Cartwright worked with C T Scott to set up the store and was impressed with the site. 

“Everything is done to a high specification, and the store looks incredible,” says Gary. 

The store opened on the 8th of August. Craig says he has been delighted with the initial feedback from his customers. They are now looking forward to holding an open day on the 28th of September, which offers customers the opportunity to look around the store and meet the team
