As we welcome in the New Year, I hope that everyone had a well-deserved rest over the Christmas period. First of all, I would like to personally thank you for your business last year. I am pleased to say that 2014 was a successful year for Holt JCB, with close to 1600 machines sold in the South West and South Wales, as well as welcoming a large number of new customers to the JCB Family. Throughout 2014 we continued to invest in the business, to further support our customers. With more engineers, parts personnel and depot managers, we plan to continue this trend in 2015. I am delighted to advise you all that Holt JCB has continued to rank the highest in the customer care award throughout the year
