OPERATORS CLUB MEMBER PROFILE Name: Shaun Leslie


Member number: 412 Company: MGL Contractors Member since: 16/06/2013


Shaun joined the Operators Club when it first launched at Plantworx in 2013. We asked him how he became an operator…


“When I was a young kid, I was forever grabbing any chance I could to head off to work with my dad. He had his own machines, so I guess the machinery love affair was in the blood.


After leaving school I took on an apprenticeship as a joiner, but the love of diggers kept pulling me back in and, eventually, I decided to give up the joinery and go and work for my dad.


Since making the choice to hang up the hammer and nail bag 17 years ago, I haven’t looked back. I’ve been lucky enough to spend most of it on Volvo machines, starting off on a second-hand EC240B. Six months later, I was handed the keys to a new EC240B, eventually moving on to an EC290C.


I then had the privilege of being offered an EW140C. Moving on from that, I got a new EW140D, which never let me down for 12500hrs. The EW140D got replaced for the EWR150E, which I think has to be hands-down one of the best wheeled excavators to date, its driver comfort is second to none. It’s quick, stable, smooth and a joy to sit in for 12-14 hours a day.


As you can see, I keep it as clean as I can, losing the boots at the door and slippers on for the extra home comfort for the working day ahead. I have a peerie (little) mascot in the cab with me all the time (Hamish the highland cow) given to me by my daughter; it’s the peerie (little) things that make it worthwhile. Having a keep-sake in the cab for the long hours away from home at times reminds you of why you do it, working hard to support your family.


The thing I enjoy most about the wheeled machines is the versatility. You always have something different throughout the day. Not many people can say it, but I love my line of work. I come to work with a smile on my face and go home with one. The SMT sales team and after-sales are second to none offering the very best of service. #swedensfinest #volvoconstructionequipment”


How did you hear about the Operators Club?


Heard about the operators club through my local salesman many years ago. What made you join the club?


I joined the club, being a proud operator of Sweden’s finest built machinery. What do you like about being a member?


I like being a member for the discount on merchandise and the main reason, hearing and seeing other operators machines and their views on them.


Do you interact with other Operators Club members? I interact with other club members, yes, it’s always interesting to hear other operators/owners views on the Volvo products, etc.
