Connaught Plant & Civil Engineering Take Delivery Of Six New Caterpillar Excavators From Finning
Connaught Plant & Civil Engineering has extended its fleet after purchasing six new Caterpillar hydraulic excavators from Finning, the UK supplier of Caterpillar equipment.
Recently delivered, the fleet of Cat 312CL, 320DL and 323DL hydraulic excavators are being used on both excavation and groundwork applications.
With bases in both England and Ireland, Connaught Plant & Civil Engineering take full advantage of the support and service offered by Finning and all six of the new machines are covered by a three-year support and maintenance package.
Commenting on Connaught's excellent relationship with Finning and the service it receives, Tom Murphy, Managing Director of Connaught Plant & Civils Engineering said: "Service is very important to my business, due to the practicalities and logistics of working out of two countries. Carrying nearly 25 Caterpillar machines in our fleet, Finning gives us the best level of service that we've come across.
"When working on customer projects in both England and Ireland, I need to ensure that my equipment is kept up and running. With Finning, I know that I am getting all round value for money; it's not just the great performance of the Caterpillar equipment, but also the added reassurance of the Finning service support network, keeping us one step ahead of the competition."
