Lombardini UK has expanded its presence in the UK market by signing a Key Dealer Agreement with Leeds-based power products specialist, William G Search. Search will provide sales, parts and service on behalf of the specialist engine manufacturer across the North of England and Scotland.
The agreement follows a decision by Lombardini to appoint a number of Key Dealers in the UK, with Search becoming the northern representative of the Italian engine manufacturer.
Simon Nutley, Operations Manager at Lombardini UK, said: ˇ§Search has a reputation for friendly, professional service amongst businesses in the region and weˇ¦re delighted to have them on board. The new agreement will strengthen our overall presence in this country where there is growing demand for reliable, good-value power units.ˇ¨
Richard Search, Managing Director, said the company now offered a full portfolio of power products with outputs ranging from a single kilowatt to several hundred. ˇ§Lombardini is well-respected in the UK and adding their units to our existing range from Lister-Petter and Daewoo provides a fantastic opportunity to expand our engine division,ˇ¨ he said.
The deal means Search will be able to offer customers smaller recoil-start engines and an encapsulated range for the first time.
