EDITORIAL LETTER Looking ahead...
Hello and welcome to edition 26 of The Voice magazine – the voice of Volvo Construction Equipment in Great Britain.
In this first edition of 2016 we look to the year ahead and it promises to be an exciting and busy time for the Volvo team. In April the eyes of the construction industry will be focussed on Bauma, the largest event of it’s kind where Volvo Construction Equipment will have an impressive line-up of new equipment including the biggest machines the company has ever made. Closer to home and also in April is ScotPlant which takes place 22–23 April at Royal Highland Centre, Edinburgh and preparations are also underway for Hillhead, our flagship show in Great Britain being held 28–30 June in Buxton. We will be showcasing our products along with support services aimed at boosting uptime, fuel efficiency and productivity. We will also be hosting the 2016 Operators Club heats at Hillhead.
In addition to the usual round up of latest machines sold, in this edition we also take a look at an LM841 on pages 22–25, a
vintage machine still going strong for R W Howling & Son and we take you behind the scenes of the refurbishment of an L220E for Bristol Port Company which you can read more about on pages 38–41. Continued growth has led the Used Equipment division to open a dedicated
preparation centre which we take a tour of on pages 42–47. This centre is fully equipped to remarket used machines quickly, thoroughly and to the high standards you would expect from Volvo.
I hope that you enjoy this edition of the Voice. If you are using a Volvo machine for an
interesting application, have an old machine still working or would like to feature in our Operators Club member profile please do get in touch on either the details below or tweet me @AmyMetcalfeIM
