Lloyd Ltd Bishop Auckland recently delivered local company Spencer Civil Engineering’s largest single order of machines, sold by our Construction Sales Specialist Andrew Hodgson.  Spencer Civil Engineering started operating in 2019, covering a range of construction-related activities including civils, structures and plant hire and this latest investment in eight Develon excavators and two 6-tonne Thwaites dumpers reflects the growth of their business.

Spencer’s Managing Director Ben Williams commented, “We bought two 225s about 18 months ago and were looking to invest in more machines across the range.  Due to the service we’ve had from Andrew we didn’t even go to market, trusting him on the price and product.  For the jobs we do reliability is obviously a big thing.  I’ve had competitor brands but I sold them due to breakdowns and dealing with them was no comparison to dealing with Lloyd Ltd.  I’ve got a lot of praise for Lloyd Ltd’s back-up and service and I know they will continue to support us when these machines are out on new jobs in Leeds, Manchester and Nottingham.”

The machines purchased are all crawler excavators, two of each of the DX27z, DX50z, DX85R and DX140LCR models.  Ben added, “The smaller machines will be used on external works and finishing projects such as paving while the bigger ones will be digging foundations and medium-to-deep drainage.  We needed some dumpers too and with Lloyd Ltd also selling Thwaites Dumpers it was an easy decision.”

Andrew Hodgson at Lloyd Ltd noted, “It has been great working with Ben and helping him find the right machines to help his growing business.  The Develon – formerly Doosan – range of machines is second to none in terms of both reliability and performance and here at Lloyd Ltd we pride ourselves on the aftersales support we provide.  Our Develon-trained engineers led by our Construction Service Manager Martin Bramham have many years’ experience of supporting customers and understand the importance of having reliable machines performing at their best.  We always go the extra mile to ensure our customers get the help they need.  Thank you to Ben for the business.  I am looking forward to continuing to work with him as his business thrives.”
