BTE Plant Sales have been a long-term trusted supplier of Bullimore Plant Hire, delivering an exceptional service year on year.
BTE offer a great range of machinery and we have always been more than happy with their customer service. I have dealt with Dean for around 10 years and have a great working relationship with him.
Dean has helped our business grow by assisting with our new machine purchases over the years, he has always made sure he tailors our deals to suite our business. He has always been very proactive and efficient with all of our enquiries and orders.
BTE’s unparalleled understanding of the construction plant market and specifically our requirements, has made them our trusted partner for almost 30 years. Their expertise, flexibility and attention to detail ensure they consistently deliver on their promise of delivering outstanding results. We look forward to continuing our relationship with BTE and are confident that they will support us with innovation, supply and maintenance of our fleet going forward.
Since buying my first new excavator from Joe, I have purchased numerous Kubota’s and Thwaites off of BTE.
The Kubota is unbeatable in the hire industry due to its reliability and simplicity for the user, backed up with Joe and BTE's excellent service there is no reason to look elsewhere.
Joe has helped me to grow the fleet with expert knowledge of the machinery and at competitive prices which is why I have stuck with BTE. The company as a whole is well organised and can’t do enough to help even when there have been issues, we have worked together with the staff at Leyland and they have been rectified easily and quickly.
Parts/ Service
Both teams have been invaluable over the years, the knowledge and help they have given has helped our service team get our machines back up and running as quickly as possible. Help with wiring diagrams, updates on breakdowns, offers and help with parts cost have also been a massive part in great customer service.
