Defying all expectations trade was better than ever. A massive entry once again with the only struggle being 5 tonne dumpers & up, but given the weather it was hardly surprising. Huge demand from the Middle East for generators, compressors and telehandlers. As usual the regular Speedy package was sought after as were the 4 quality Komatsus from Aldermore Finance. With the impending doom of the General Election and the falling £ exporters made the most of the exchange rate.
