I understand that MCFE are in discussions with various people regarding their dealership in the UK. Names mentioned are Rushlift, Impact and the current Briggs sub dealer network.

Anyone heard anything ??

Personally I would have thought they would take this opportunity to go direct in the UK especially as there are numerous ex Finning/Briggs/Harvey employees in the UK who would relish the opportunity to make it extremely difficult for the current dealer when they take on another brand.

Is there enough margin in the UK Lift Truck market to sustain dealer representation ??
