SUBJECT: Autobus Leeds Transit moves into new facility, adds staff.
Leeds Transit Inc. operating under the trade name Autobus Leeds Transit in Quebec is pleased to announce their expansion which includes moving into a new facility and the addition of several new team members.
The new facility will mainly house Parts and Service with a large inventory of popular parts in stock. Leeds will utilize that parts stock to launch a DAILY PARTS DELIVERY service in the greater Montreal and regions north area. Call before 9:00 am and have your parts that same day at no extra cost! Gilles Vadnais has moved from our old location to the new facility and will oversee the parts inventory, shipping and receiving while processing orders from customers.
Autobus Leeds has added Maurice Lalonde to the parts sales team. Maurice has many years experience in the parts business and will be a great resource to help operators reduce their operating costs!
Guy Poitras joins the Autobus Leeds team as Service Writer. Guy will provide phone support to customers, will book and manage warranty and repair appointments and will supervise the new shop facility. Joining Guy is Yves Martin as mechanic. Both men have extensive previous International bus experience and will add a whole new level of service to our Quebec customer base.
Pierre Gilbert has returned to the Autobus Leeds team as a bus sales representative, joining Louise Couture to form the basis of our Quebec bus sales team.
Robert Caron remains on the road as Manager of Service and Training, co-ordinating customer requests for training and assistance and supporting our bus sales team in Quebec.
Comments Autobus Leeds President Kelly Backholm, “We have been so well received in Quebec during our first year in the area. We have exceeded our sales expectations as customers could see the quality in our bus products and recognized the support available to them from Leeds.”
“We have travelled extensively to customer sites to find out the problems that previous IC buyers were having and get those resolved. Training of mechanical staff is such an important part of the process to make customers happy and comfortable with the equipment they own. We have more work to do in this area but we are making progress.”
“As our customer relations have expanded we felt it was time to expand our presence in Quebec with a focus on local parts and service, especially warranty and trouble shooting. Therefore we have invested in a new facility. We look forward to bringing new higher levels of service to bus operators in Quebec, especially those in the greater Montreal area and regions north and west of Montreal.”
