KUBOTA (UK) is adding to the territories of construction dealers Shellplant and Boss Plant Sales from the start of 2026.
Northamptonshire-based Shellplant will add Norfolk and Suffolk to its existing sales area, while Hertfordshire-based equipment supplier Boss Plant Sales will assume responsibility for neighbouring Essex.
“We are delighted to be able to increase the territory of these two exceptional dealers, as we continue to grow our product range across the construction business,” said Rob White, Kubota (UK) construction division manager. “This is an exciting time for Kubota, with the addition of larger excavators, wheeled excavators and compact tracked loaders to the line-up.
“We will be offering customers and dealers a whole range of new opportunities next year, including new driveline technologies such as ‘Requip’, Kubota’s award-winning Electric Retrofit for mini-excavators. We will have the best network of dealers to support those new machines.”
Shellplant has invested £3.5 million in an upgrade to its Northants base in Earls Barton. The facility will include larger, fully equipped workshops, along with extended parts and machine storage areas.
For Boss Plant Sales, the move is described as a natural extension to the business, as Essex borders the Hertfordshire firm’s existing territory. MD Graham Stansfield also has previous experience of working with customers in the county, having worked with both Kubota and its dealers in the area for many years.
