Our suppliers are an intrinsic part of the BTE family and so we are thrilled to have them on board and being ever supportive. Our long-standing partner, Kubota quotes: –

“Kubota and BTE Plant Sales have enjoyed a long and successful partnership since 1994, which has seen both businesses grow alongside each other respectively.  This news from BTE is an exciting step forward for our relationship, and we are looking forward to continuing to help them provide a truly first-rate service to their customers.” – Rob White, Division Manager – Construction, Kubota (UK).

“BTE Plant Sales are an important part of the Thwaites distributor network in the UK and this succession plan ensures the ongoing provision of equipment sales and after-sales in the region. We have worked with Becky and the team at BTE for 8 years and by providing other market leading products alongside Thwaites they offer an exceptional service to our joint customers.”

Rebecca and Ben, together with the rest of our BTE team, are looking forward to the future knowing that with the partners involved we will be able to strengthen and grow the business even further. Although it will be business as usual, this sparks a new and exciting chapter in the BTE story.
