Doosan has appointed James Gordon

Doosan has appointed James Gordon Ltd, based at Castle Douglas in Dumfries and Galloway, as their new authorised dealer in the South West and Borders regions of Scotland and for the county of Cumbria in Northern England.

Founded in 1865, Gordons is a well established and much respected business in South West Scotland, with four strategically placed depots in the new Doosan areas, providing a fast, efficient local service for machinery supply and after-sales support. 

Kim Dudley, Doosan regional manager - Northern Europe, says his team was impressed by Gordons' reputation and focus on the aftermarket.

"Gordons has already secured a number of new orders for Doosan products and is taking delivery of a significant stock of new machines and parts to ensure good availability for customers in its area. Whilst some of these are to already existing Gordons' customers, they include a number of businesses that are new to the company, resulting in an immediate expansion of their customer base."

Kevin Fraser, sales director at Gordons, says: "We are delighted to be appointed as the new Doosan dealer and see this as a tremendous opportunity for the company. We currently employ 85 staff across our six depots and we have dedicated sales and aftermarket staff for the Doosan range already in place, working out of the four depots at Dumfries, Castle Douglas, Castle Kennedy and Whauphill covering our new Doosan area, with a Doosan-trained Service Engineer based in Cumbria to serve Cumbria and the Scottish Borders.

As well as covering existing contracts, Gordons is offering service and warranty work on all existing Doosan machines in its area, backed by a full selection of genuine accessories and parts. The company is also holding a stock of new and used Doosan-branded machines, to respond quickly to customers' needs.
