GOVPLANET UK MOVING INTO GROUNDCARE

GovPlanet UK, the vehicle and specialist equipment disposal service, have recently appointed Simon Morley, ex of JCB, as their new territory manager.

GovPlanet has been operating in the UK for the past 4 years and won a place on the NAPFM-sponsored national emergency services vehicle disposals framework in September 2017.

Since then the company say they have continued to grow and win business with the emergency services, local government and their fleet management companies.

Simon Morley says the company is now keen to demonstrate their capabilities to groundscare equipment OEMs, distributors and owners, to help them generate higher revenue from their vehicle and equipment sales.

He said, “We are keenly aware that shrinking budgets means owners want to achieve the very best possible return on their original investment.

“Typically, we can increase that return by 15-25% above more traditional auction routes.

“We do this by offering lower costs, selling to a global audience and through pro-active sales efforts. We tailor the method of re-sale to the customer’s needs.”

Simon said the company is interested in all sorts of equipment, having “previously sold everything from excavators to tractors and mowers and anything in between.”

“Our aim,” he said, “is to provide a great return for the customer and reduce the hassle and worry associated with disposals, at the same time.”
