EDITORIAL LETTER Moving forwards...
Hello and welcome to edition 30 of the Voice magazine – the voice of Volvo Construction Equipment in Great Britain.
In the last edition of the Voice the pre- production A60H was just starting out on its tour of Great Britain. The tour is now complete and you can find out what ‘The Beast’ got up to on pages 6–11. The A60H is now in production and we can’t wait to see the first machines arriving in GB.
In March we held our largest ever demonstration days which you can read about on pages 36–39. These events saw the Live it. Dig it. campaign brought to life and gave visitors the unique opportunity to try Volvo machines in a real-life environment. They proved to be really popular so keep an eye on The Voice and social media for updates on future plans!
In other exciting news, you will see overleaf that the GB dealership has been acquired by Volvo’s long-term distribution partner SMT Group and will soon become an independent Volvo dealer. As Managing Director Nick Allen mentions in the article, the acquisition will allow the GB dealership to become even more agile and our focus to deliver industry leading products and customer service to our customers will continue.
Looking back in time now and on pages 18 –21 Paul Bacon, owner of Cambridgeshire Sand & Gravel has recently renovated and put to work a BM621 which was originally made in 1973. This machine has undergone a vast transformation and is now working alongside the firms other vintage vehicles.
In addition to these stories we also take a look at how Chepstow Plant are increasing their focus on ADT safety and operator training on pages 26–29 with the help of Volvo simulators and how LKAB Minerals are putting a new L90H to work at one of the largest refractory recycling plants in the country.
I hope that you enjoy the latest edition of the Voice. This is very much your magazine so if there is anything you would like to see more of, please let me know.
