Purchasing goods from a new or unfamiliar country can feel overwhelming. Finding reliable suppliers and negotiating favorable terms can be a complex process, especially if you’re not familiar with the intricacies of UK or international trade practices. For many businesses, navigating these waters alone can lead to unnecessary stress and confusion.

At LES, international exports account for approximately 40% of our business, making this an area where we truly excel. When a valued client in West Africa approached us with a challenge—to secure a better deal on a JCB 3CX backhoe loader than what they were currently offered by a UK dealership—we accepted without hesitation. The result? We not only matched but surpassed their expectations by delivering the machine directly to Lagos, Nigeria at a remarkable price.

Not only did we save our client £1,250 compared to the original quoted price, but we also handled every step of the transaction seamlessly. From coordinating with the dealership to arranging shipping via sea, everything was managed exclusively through us. The total weight of the shipment, including the machine itself and additional materials, amounted to 8,260 kg, yet the chargeable weight came to 15,215.5 kg. Despite this, the entire process cost the client just £2,049—an incredibly competitive rate. Needless to say, our customer was thrilled and has since entrusted us with all future purchases from the UK.

As part of our global service offerings, we specialize in sourcing high-quality products for international clients. Whether you need a specific British product or simply want us to handle every aspect of procurement and logistics, LES is committed to providing exceptional support tailored to your needs. Our team will work diligently to manage negotiations, oversee the purchasing process, and ensure smooth transportation, documentation, and compliance with export regulations.

For this particular project, the brand-new JCB 3CX backhoe loader was successfully supplied and delivered to Lagos, Nigeria. It’s just another example of how LES goes above and beyond to meet—and exceed—our clients’ expectations.
