One year to the month since their appointment as Metso Lokotrack distributors in the UK took effect, McHale Plant Sales will exhibit at the ScotPlant and Hillhead expos with the intention of greeting as many customers as possible with a simple message of 'thanks' for the welcome their arrival on the UK scene has received.

Over the 12 months since April 2023, the company has established a headquarters depot at Tamworth and a Scottish base on the east side of Edinburgh.

According to their Business Development Director, Darragh O'Driscoll "mindful that we began with a blank canvas, we are exceedingly happy with the picture that has emerged".

Recruitment, which is on-going, has seen key appointments made in sales management and equipment sales; in parts stores and distribution; in administration and customer communications; in in-house machine maintenance and repair; and in mobile field service engineering roles.

"On the personnel side, we have an expanding and committed team, all totally focused on building the business and delivering the best service we can for customers," O'Driscoll said.

"In the important areas of parts availability and supply, our depots are well stocked and supported by an efficient UK-wide distribution structure. So too in tech-support where our team of mobile service engineers continues to expand," he added.
