DOOSAN has confirmed that existing dealers James Gordon and Balgownie will have their territories extended and will now jointly handle the central belt region in Scotland, replacing Scotia Plant.
Gordons, based at Castle Douglas in Dumfries and Galloway, became a Doosan dealer last year for the manufacturer’s heavy range in the south west and Borders regions of Scotland, and for Cumbria. The firm will now also cover Glasgow, Edinburgh, Inverclyde, Renfrewshire and all the Lothian Counties, Argyle and Bute, Isle of Mull, Stirling, Fife, Falkirk and parts of Lanarkshire and Ayrshire that the company did not previously cover.
Inverurie-based Balgownie currently handles the Doosan range in Aberdeenshire, Morayshire, Angus and the Highlands as well as Perthshire and Kinross-shire. They will now also cover the Isle of Skye and remaining Highlands postcodes.
Doosan said the dealers have had their areas extended “purely on merit” despite strong interest from other parties.
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 Castle Douglas HQ. Balgownie will handle the extended territory from its base in Inverurie and the company‘s branch in Turriff.
