Mark Love of Fairfax praised the financial support from CAT Finance "As this purchase enhances our fleet of over 100 excavators ranging from 1 ton to 35 tonnes and we anticipate the 8 tonne becoming a more and more popular option in our hire fleet."
Bond meets Bond meets Finning as the latest specialist Cat® Compact Dealer is announced
The name’s Bond, W H Bond. As 50 years of the James Bond franchise was celebrated last year featuring a cameo from a Cat excavator, a business with over 50 years of trading experience, W H Bond, has been appointed as the latest addition to the Finning network of Cat compact dealerships.
W H Bond, a one stop shop for the construction industry for timber, plant hire, machine sales, landscaping, civil engineering, agriculture and recycling services, will also be adding many new Cat excavators, telehandlers, rollers and skid steers to their existing plant hire fleet.
Andy Pearce, Business Development Manager for WH Bond said: “Following our acquisition of six Cat machines earlier this year, we noticed a story in the press about another company becoming a Cat compact dealer. Given the strong connections WH Bond have in the region and the experience we have as a business, we knew becoming a Cat compact dealer would be a wise strategic move for us. This led us to contacting Finning in regards to becoming part of the compact dealer network, and following a comprehensive review, we reached an agreement that is set to have a positive impact on our business growth strategy.”
