Portsmouth based Parchow Groundworks invest in twenty LiuGong Excavators
Based in Waterlooville near Portsmouth, UK, Parchow Groundworks Ltd have become the latest business to invest in LiuGong excavators, which are being supplied by LiuGong Direct UK, who are also based in Portsmouth.
Parchow Groundworks Ltd., was established in 2009 by two highly experienced Managing Directors, Andy Howe and Dave Cleeve. They had previously worked together in the industry for many years.
The family-based business undertakes building and civil engineering works across a wide range of sectors, including schools, hospitals, and commercial properties, and with an increasingly large focus on house building groundworks for a number of blue-chip clients including Barratt Homes, Persimmon Homes, Crayfern Homes and local builder PMC.
More recently they have been joined by Kieran Shalloe who also takes up a Directorship role.
The company employs around 120 staff and with continued expansion they have seen annual turnover double every year for the past 4 years to around £14m.
Previously Parchow ran a fleet of 9 excavators, which are being traded in as part of their expansion and acquisition of 20 LiuGong machines.
The first batch of excavators that have been delivered consist of five 909ECR Excavators, one 922E, and two 915E Excavators.
A second batch consisting of 2 more 15-tonne class excavators and 10 smaller mini excavators will be delivered in due course.
Talking about their decision to purchase the LiuGong excavators, Parchow Groundworks Managing Director, Andy Howe, said: “We chose LiuGong as we feel they represent great value for money. Not only do they look good, they are very robust machines. We also like all the extras you get as standard, especially from a safety perspective with the built-in cameras. For the operators you get all the creature comforts that you could possibly need in the cab.”
Summarizing his experience with the LiuGong dealer, Andy commented: “We have found LiuGong Direct UK great to deal with, nothing has been too much trouble and we have got a great deal from them.”
