A SPECIALIST business based in Warrington has announced that it is closing.

Spectrum Plant, located at Cranford Court in Woolston, confirmed the decision to its ‘absolutely gutted’ customers on social media.

It describes itself as ‘the home of ARB machinery offering the best class leading arborist machines’.

A statement on its website adds: “Not only do we offer class leading machines, but we also pride ourselves on a class leading customer centric service.”

In a statement, Spectrum Plant said: “We are sorry to say that after 15 years, we have made the decision to close Spectrum Plant.

“We have had a fantastic time working with our amazing customers over that time and would like to thank you all for your support.

“However, every cloud has a silver lining.

“Over the next few weeks, we will be clearing out our remaining stock and will be offering some incredible bargains on our website and eBay shop.

“Keep an eye out for the best deals, as when they are gone – they are gone.

“The workshop is now closed, but we are still here to give our usual great customer support over the phone. Please get in touch if you have any queries.”

The news was met with sadness from customers on social media.

One commented: “Absolutely gutted one of the last decent suppliers gone.”

Another wrote: “Many thanks for all your help, faultless service and assistance over the years, and good luck to you and your staff for the future.”
