Part of that success has been down to the revamped dealer network, which has gone from 79 owners five years ago with the purchase of ERF, to 28 today. Remarkably, 70% of those current owners are former ERF dealers. It also announced a new ELtm site at Bellshill, Glasgow and an £8.6m site at Trafford Park. Manchester.
