A New Era Beckons as Tobin Plant Becomes Hyundai Compact Dealership

It gives me great pleasure to announce that Southwold, Suffolk based Tobin Plant, has been appointed as the compact equipment dealer for Hyundai Construction Equipment, covering a vast area that includes Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Lincolnshire.

The company will market the full range of Hyundai machinery under 10-tonnes operating weight, including compact tracked excavators, wheeled excavators, skid steers and compact tracked loaders.

Simon Tobin, Managing Director of Tobin Plant, said: “We are very excited about this new opportunity. The Hyundai product has always been considered a good, reliable machine. With the new models that are coming to the market this year, customers should really take a look at these market-leading machines.”

With depots in Southwold and Lakenheath in Suffolk, Tobin Plant will provide service and factory-trained back-up, to new and existing Hyundai compact equipment customers across East Anglia. The company has many years of construction machinery experience and is looking forward to building the Hyundai brand across the region.

Tobin Plant has taken delivery of an initial batch of mini excavators and will be among the first in the UK to offer an all-new compact machine, that will be launched in the coming weeks. Mr Tobin is planning a number of local promotional events with potential customers across the region to demonstrate the line-up.

Glen Hampson, Hyundai’s Head of Compact Growth, welcomed the announcement, adding: “Having Simon and the team at Tobin Plant working with Hyundai is great news. With a rapidly growing range of compact equipment, we are keen to boost awareness of just what Hyundai has to offer, along with the great dealer network that we have to support those machines.

Simon, who has an amazing record in plant and machinery sales, has been a long-time supporter of my work on the Digger Man Blog and in Earthmovers Magazine, so this is an extra special appointment in my eyes. The man has dedicated his life to selling machinery, and never switches off, I have even seen him sell a machine in a pub in the evening, and his success in the field is all due to his extraordinary level of commitment, we wish him all the best with this new venture.
