He said: "Throughout my career, I have worked with customers of every shape,
size and industry with one goal in mind: to help them get the best value
from their own operations by optimising their materials handling equipment,
maintenance and related support processes."
Over the years I¹ve taken a particular interest in challenging existing practices and working to implement techniques and products which improve customer's operations.
Performance is everything in high capacity operations, such as port and dock work, whisky handling and freight operations. Our customers need products and a dealer that they can rely upon every hour of every day.
That's why I am delighted to be working with Douglas Gillespie Plant. We offer a unique combination of products from an approved range of international manufacturers, properly trained and equipped field engineers, with a proven reputation for reliability, and an organisation that consistently delivers the highest quality of customer care.
Director Gordon Barclay is particularly impressed by Ian's in-depth understanding of customer needs. Gordon said: "Ian's unrivalled ability in generating the best deal for each and every customer, combined with his technical background makes him a massive asset for Douglas Gillespie Plant."
