The expansion comes as Gordons becomes a licensed dealer for Dieci and Bomag, adding to its existing exclusive relationship with Develon.
Kevin Fraser, one of four directors of Gordons, said, "We are really excited about this next stage. Dieci and Bomag perfectly complement the Develon offering to give our customers the full spectrum of kit they need for every scale of project, while the Blairgowrie depot will give our customers in the East and North of Scotland a chance to come and see the equipment more conveniently. Importantly, it also means we will be able to offer a prompt service to these regions of Scotland with both parts and engineer support.鈥�
