Falkirk-based Your Equipment Solutions (Y.E.S.) continues to expand to meet demand from customers across Scotland. The company, which has a depot in Dundee, has also opened two further outlets in Edinburgh and Glasgow earlier this year. This was followed by a fifth site in Inverness in May.
The additional facilities have led to the purchase of over 70 Kubota mini excavators, from local dealer HRN Tractors. The deal includes a mix of 1.6, 1.8 and 3-tonne machines.
“We strive to provide the complete service that customers expect,” said Managing Director David Johnstone (pictured). “When you’re an independent business, you can react quickly and we offer a service that some larger companies just can’t. We’re not supplying unique products, we just give the best service to our customers.”
Y.E.S. purchased its first Kubota minis in 2018, having listened to both market intelligence and customer feedback. “Operators were just telling me to go with Kubota all day long,” explanined Mr Johnstone. “The introduction of the five-year warranty with Kubota was also a strong selling point and the guy that runs the workshop at HRN is always on hand to help if needed."
Y.E.S has since been assessing some of Kubota’s larger machines, although its biggest models are still the 3-tonners. That said, as the company has expanded, it has been building a fleet of larger delivery trucks, so David has not ruled out heavier models in the future. The company is also looking at further growth, both geographically and in the type of equipment that it offers.
“We are looking to expand, through acquisition or through natural growth,” added Mr Johnstone. “We’re growing significantly year on year and there are other potential openings in the pipeline.”
