Chepstow Construction Equipment<\/span><\/b><\/span>\u00a0has\u00a0been a\u00a0Kubota Construction dealer\u00a0since 2013 and covers\u00a0South Wales\u00a0as well as a\u00a0large part of the\u00a0West Country, areas that are both\u00a0steeped in National Hunt Racing\u00a0history. Both of CCE\u2019s\u00a0depots\u00a0(Chepstow and Tiverton)\u00a0conveniently have race courses located nearby, and the company has a\u00a0long-running\u00a0association with the Chepstow Racecourse and has sponsored the\u00a0Silver Trophy Handicap Hurdle for the past two years.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
CCE has\u00a025 years\u2019 experience in the plant industry and supply a range of Kubota machines, including the market-leading mini excavators, tracked dumpers and RTVs,\u00a0to a variety of different customers such as plant hire firms, contractors and builders.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Since becoming a Kubota dealer,\u00a0CCE has\u00a0supported Chepstow Racecourse and\u00a0used the superb facilities\u00a0for charity events and hospitality\u00a0functions\u00a0for suppliers, customers and employees. Most\u00a0recently, the firm supplied\u00a0a Reggae-style U48-4GL machine for its Caribbean-themed race night which is currently being raffled.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
CCE\u2019s goal is to develop strong working relationships with construction and\u00a0plant hire\u00a0across the area it serves, and be the\u00a0leading provider of compact construction equipment and\u00a0mini\u00a0excavators in particular. Therefore, Kubota has been the perfect partner with which to do so, and both companies have\u00a0shared values of putting customers at the forefront of everything they do.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The reliability of the Kubota product has helped to\u00a0save customers a considerable amount of potential downtime and lost productivity on sites, as well as\u00a0time in administrating machine problems and breakdowns.\u00a0But they also save the CCE team huge amounts of time, both in terms of engineering and administration work on breakdown\u00a0and\u00a0warranty claims.\u00a0Instead, this time\u00a0can be\u00a0much better spent on providing customers with\u202fa swifter\u00a0reaction time to an issue,\u00a0or to\u00a0provide advice\u00a0or training, for instance.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
As a result, CCE\u2019s market share has grown by\u00a0some margin\u00a0over the last five years\u00a0with three times the amount of Kubota machines being sold now than in 2012, and the company\u00a0has been able to expand\u00a0its\u00a0service area into Devon to better serve customers\u00a0in the West Country.\u00a0Customer\u00a0retention is\u00a0above\u00a090%,\u00a0even\u00a0during\u00a0a very volatile\u00a0and competitive period for the market.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
There are many likenesses between the thoroughbreds that race on the tracks\u00a0at Chepstow\u00a0and the\u00a0Kubota\u00a0mini excavators that are sold by CCE \u2013 both are top of their class.\u00a0Hard working, reliable\u00a0and with an impeccable pedigree but perhaps not quite as fast\u00a0(!),\u00a0Kubota\u2019s mini\u00a0excavators work just as well in soft\u00a0ground\u00a0as well as on good to firm, and always deliver a winning result.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Martyn Durran, Managing Director at\u00a0Chepstow Construction Equipment\u00a0said:\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span>\u201cCCE is proud to be a Kubota dealer and offers its customers outstanding quality, performance, technical innovation and all of the benefits of the Kubota anti-theft system, warranty, outstanding residual value as well as a host of back up features.\u00a0Richard Johnson, Britain\u2019s Champion Jumps Jockey, has won the trophy that we sponsor at Chepstow several times and is widely regarded as one of the UK\u2019s leading horseman.\u00a0Recently we had a chance to meet up to discuss horse racing and\u00a0mini\u00a0excavators, our two favourite subjects\u00a0\u2013 at CCE\u00a0we like to\u00a0think we matched up the finest jumps jockey\u00a0with the finest mini\u00a0excavators in the UK today!\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
