The deal for 371 mini excavators and 134 micro excavators will dramatically expand Travis Perkins’ fleet available for hire.

The repeat order was secured by dealer Watling JCB and all machines were made at JCB’s factory in Cheadle.  

UK and Ireland sales director Yvette Henshall-Bell said: “We are delighted to win this repeat business, particularly as it was secured in the face of fierce competition from other major suppliers in our industry.”
