Further brands
We can source and provide other brands upon request but prefer to sell the above, with whom we have trusted working relationships.
Molson was founded by Jonathan Wilson and Robin Powell in 1996. Business flourished and by 2001 the company had outgrown its initial rented premises in Yatton and moved to it’s own purpose built yard on a 7 acre site in Smoke Lane at Avonmouth, near the M4/M5 axis, (since renamed the Smoke Lane Industrial Estate). Bob Barnett joined Robin and Jonathan in 2005 as chairman of the group of companies.
With its space, accessibility, hi-tech workshops and spray shops the new state of the art premises enabled Molson to become a company that can cope with current and future demands from the industry. Since the move Molson has expanded and its workforce is now 40, of which 20 are technical staff (fully trained engineers, fitters, welders, painter and signwriters), 15 are sales orientated and the balance are support personnel. Molson also has a large parts facility with a parts stock of over £1mill always on hand.
Currently Molson stands as one of the largest suppliers of Korean and Japanese built excavators in Europe and continues to source a wide range of equipment including dump trucks, dozers, demolition rigs and wheeled loaders. In 2010 Molson became Hyundai's biggest dealer in the whole of Europe.
Our sales team has expanded to cover all of the UK and we offer a fully mobile engineering service with 10 large fully equipped service vans, fitted with GPS to ensure they can locate machinery working on site. They also carry built in generators and welding equipment.
After sales warranty, delivery facilities and customised paintwork and sign writing are all part of the legendary level of service we take pride in. We understand the importance of finding the right machine for the job and with our extensive global network and alliance with leading manufacturers we are sure we can meet your needs.
We are situated in the hub of the Southwest's industrial centre and within easy access of the intersection of the M4 and M5. New and prospective customers are always welcome to visit us - we would love to show you around.
