Volvo has appointed Royston-based Capital Plant Solutions (GB) as its new utility equipment dealer covering North London, Essex, The Home Counties north and Cambridgeshire.

Headed up by husband and wife team Iain and Ursula Johnson, Capital Plant Solutions was set up last December to specialise in the sales and purchase of used equipment.

The company will be responsible for the sales and after market support for the full range of Volvo utility equipment covering the northern Home Counties, north of the Thames including North London, Middlesex, Essex, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire.

Volvo’s Director for Road and Utility Equipment, David Munns said, “We will be working hard together to ensure that we maintain and enhance our position as a leading supplier in this extremely important area.”
