Leeds based commercial landscape company Pudsey Landscapes Limited have been offering landscaping services for major house building developments, commercial and industrial units for 40 years. They have recently purchased a mini digger and dumpster using a HP Fixed facility from JCB Finance. Tom O’Brien of Pudsey Landscapes explains why they needed to acquire the new JCB 8008 and JCB HTD5.
“We got them mainly for tighter areas where you can’t get large machinery in – the awkward jobs. They’re so easy to manoeuvre, you can crane them in and out of gardens and get them down the side of houses. They are such easy little machines to get around”.
Tom worked with his local dealer, T C Harrison JCB who helped him select the machine
“Ollie from TC Harrison JCB sent through brochures and quotes. They had a couple in stock ready to go and we had the machines within a couple of weeks. I have some vans on order and I know lead times are crazy. So it was nice to hear they had them in stock. As soon as you know you want something, you want it – yesterday. I chose to finance the purchase with JCB Finance and kept it as a one stop shop. I look at the cost of finance as the equivalent of a day’s wage for a man and the machine does the work of 2-3 men – it just works out so cheap to finance. It’s a good way to do it.”
Pudsey Landscapes used the JCB Finance Online secure way of signing the agreement - which their Finance Director was able to do from holiday avoiding any delays.
“There were no issues. As soon as I called or emailed my Relationship Manager Sophie, I’d get a response within hours or sometimes minutes. Signing the agreement online worked well.“
JCB Finance work hard to make sure the service offered is fast, seamless and easy to understand. Whether you are looking to finance one machine or a large fleet, all customers receive the highest level of service.
“The rates were really good, they gave a quick response and there was no jargon – it was simple, no hiccups and it just ran smoothly. We’re not a large fleet buyer. In fact, have never bought any plant before – and as a customer I didn’t feel any less valued.”
