Blundell Blog

It is interesting to see that one of our competitors, Speedline, has dismissed its distributor who was based on the south coast, and has appointed a new distributor for Europe who is based in Ayrshire, Scotland.

One of our great strengths at Blundell Production Equipment is our central location. From our base in Coventry, we can get to most parts of England and Wales within 2 hours. Scotland is a little further, but being near to Birmingham airport, there are regular flights to Glasgow and Edinburgh.

This ability to get to our customers, wherever they are, very quickly is very much appreciated by our customer base and we often receive feedback from customers telling us how much they appreciate our fast response.

Some of our competitors try to cover the whole of Europe from one base. Personally speaking, I fail to see how this can work, and how it can be of any use to a customer with a problem that needs immediate attention.

Christmas is upon us again, and I would like to wish all of our customers and suppliers a very happy festive season and as prosperous a  New Year in 2009 as the current economic conditions will allow.  We are closed from 6pm on 23rd December till 8am on Monday 5th January. Have a great holiday!
