Kubota construction machinery dealers Shellplant and Boss Plant Sales are having their territories expanded from 1st January 2026.
Northamptonshire-based Shellplant will add Norfolk and Suffolk to its existing sales area, while Hertfordshire-based Boss Plant Sales will assume responsibility for neighbouring Essex.
They take over from Hosplant, which currently has Essex and East Anglia.
鈥淲e are delighted to be able to increase the territory of these two exceptional dealers, as we continue to grow our product range across the construction business,鈥� said Rob White, Kubota (UK) construction division manager. 聽鈥淭his is an exciting time for Kubota, with the addition of larger excavators, wheeled excavators and compact tracked loaders to the line-up.鈥�
Shellplant is investing 拢3.5m in its base in Earls Barton, with larger workshops and storage areas. Co-owner and managing partner Julian Payne said he was 鈥渁bsolutely thrilled to be entrusted with this additional Kubota territory of Norfolk and Suffolk鈥�.
He said: 鈥淭his expansion represents a great opportunity for our future growth. Our new depot will support not only our additional territory but will allow us to handle the new Kubota products that will be available early next year. Our aim will then be to have additional premises within our new territory, to fully support our projected sales growth in Norfolk and Suffolk.鈥�
Boss Plant Sales managing director Graham Stansfield has previous experience of working with customers in Essex. 鈥淓veryone at Boss Plant Sales is thrilled with the opportunity and I personally am looking forward to getting in touch with customers from years ago and meeting new businesses,鈥� he said.
鈥淲e have invested significantly in premises and facilities since we started, and just two months ago have taken on another 1.5 acres of secure storage and warehousing, to assist with the increasing range of products from Kubota,鈥� Stansfield added.
