Cooks Midlands Ltd, a well-regarded supplier of agricultural and construction equipment, has officially become part of the Merlo UK construction dealer network. The company, which has been operational since 1992, is now set to broaden its horizons into the construction industry. Notably, this move positions the company to provide Merlo telehandlers to construction sector purchasers, thereby expanding beyond its traditional agricultural clientele.
Owen Buttle, the National Sales Manager of Merlo UK, reinforced the intent behind this collaboration, stating that the appointment of Cooks Midlands signifies Merlo’s dedication to offering comprehensive support for the construction sector. This strategic affiliation promises to align Merlo more closely with industry needs and aspirations, fortifying its service infrastructure.
Cooks Midlands’ association with well-known construction machinery brands like Caterpillar and Mecalac previously established a foundation of reliability and expertise. Darren Cook, the managing director, expressed enthusiasm about this development, underscoring the company’s familiarity with Merlo products and its eagerness to extend their application within the construction domain. This expansion is expected to enhance the company’s market offerings significantly.
The partnership is characterised by a mutual goal: to deliver an enriched selection of Merlo products and services to a wider spectrum of customers. This aligns with Merlo’s strategic vision of providing robust solutions and reinforces its standing in the competitive construction equipment market.
This strategic collaboration is poised to significantly enhance the operational dynamics of both Cooks Midlands and Merlo UK within the construction sector.
