The first addition to the team is Eric Reid who joined the manufacturer on November 18.

With many years of experience in the construction equipment sector, Eric brings a wealth of knowledge and contacts from the North East of Scotland. In his new role, Eric will be responsible for all sales enquiries across the North of Scotland, including the Highlands and Islands.

“Since launching our direct sales route earlier this year we have seen a huge increase in demand for the SANY range of excavators,” said Lyle Sibbald, general manager of SANY Scotland. “Unlike other manufacturers, we are not suffering from long lead times and have ample machines in stock. In order to make the most of this opportunity we are investing in more people to provide excellent coverage across the market.

“Eric is a great addition to the team and will provide customers in the north of the country with higher levels of support.”

In June of this year, SANY opened its first premises in the UK. Located in Coatbridge, just off the A8 carriageway, the building acts as the head office for SANY UK & Ireland as well as the depot for SANY Scotland.

Over the coming weeks, the company will be adding more sales, service and support members to the team as operations gear up for a very busy 2022.
