For the second year in succession, Metso UK and Ireland distributor, McHale Plant Sales has been feted by the Finnish crushers manufacturer, this time as recipients of their coveted ‘Distributor of the Year 2025’ award chosen from their worldwide distributor network.
First appointed Metso distributors in Ireland and Northern Ireland some 10 years ago, their role received a major boost when, in April 2023, their brief was extended to include the English, Scottish and Welsh markets.
Expressing their ‘honour’ at having been chosen Metso ‘Distributor of the Year 2025’ from amongst its global distributor network, their managing director, Tim Shanahan described the award as “a tribute to all within the company – in Tamworth, Edinburgh, Rathcoole, and at our headquarters in Birdhill – whose ‘round-the-clock’ commitment has been the key factor in helping us to strengthen our presence in all markets”.
In this, Shanahan referred also to what he called ‘our loyal and supportive customers’ whose ‘belief’ in Metso and whose ‘trust and confidence’ in our company and our staff “have been key factors in our being chosen for this prestigious award”.
Last year, McHale Plant Sales was presented with a Metso ‘Best Marketing’ award primarily in recognition of its work in promoting its appointment as their UK distributors, including the establishment of administrative centres at Tamworth and Edinburgh, and the recruitment of personnel in sales, parts and technical support positions.
