Comley takes a pair of Doosans…

CG Comley & Sons bucks the cost reduction trend, buying two new Doosan excavators.

There was a time, in the not too distant past, when we could have filled each page of Demolition News with stories of new equipment being bought and sold. Sadly, a combination of reduced workloads and lack of available credit has largely put paid to that.

So it’s somehow refreshing to note that Hampshire-based CG Comley & Sons has just dipped its toe back into the equipment procurement waters with the purchase of two new Doosan excavators from local dealer Promac Solutions Ltd.

The order comprises a 14.5 tonne DX140LC, and a 22.5 tonne DX225LC, both of which join a Comley equipment fleet that also has a 45 tonne Daewoo high reach unit.

We’re hoping to speak to Comley managing director Richard Comley about his latest purchase during this weekend’s National Federation fo Demolition Contractors’ 2009 Annual Convention in Killarney.
