Buying goods from a foreign supplier can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re new to the process. Finding reliable sources and negotiating favorable terms can be challenging, particularly for those unfamiliar with how international trade works. For us at LES, however, this is second nature. International exports account for nearly 40% of our business, making us experts in navigating these complexities.

A few months ago, a valued client based in West Africa approached us with an unusual request. They needed a brand-new JCB 3CX backhoe loader sourced directly from a UK dealership, but their current quote seemed steep. Could we do better? Of course! We took on the challenge and delivered—literally all the way to Lagos, Nigeria.

Not only did we secure a fantastic deal, saving them £1,250 off the original price, but we also handled every step of the process seamlessly. From coordinating with the dealership to arranging shipping logistics, everything was managed under one roof. The total cost for transporting the machine, weighing 8,260 kg (with a chargeable weight of 15,215.5 kg), came to just £2,049. Our client couldn’t have been happier! Since then, they’ve entrusted us with all their future UK-based purchases.

What sets LES apart is our ability to simplify global procurement. Whether you need a specific British product or want us to handle every detail from sourcing to delivery, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional service tailored to your needs. No matter where you are in the world, let us take care of the heavy lifting so you can focus on what matters most.

So here’s to another successful project! A brand-new JCB 3CX backhoe loader now sits proudly in Lagos, thanks to LES. If you ever find yourself needing assistance sourcing quality equipment from the UK, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’d love to help make your life easier.

Until next time,

- The LES Team
