Dugard Announces Strategic Restructuring to Drive Growth

UK machine tool distributor Dugard has streamlined its leadership into a three-director team: Eric Dugard, Sales Director Colin Thomson, and Managing Director Jamie Young, all active in daily operations.
The move replaces a complex 14-shareholder structure, enabling faster decision-making and agile market responses. Customer service has been enhanced through unified technical and operations oversight, while supplier partnerships are now more collaborative, focusing on end-user solutions.
Dugard has also added high-end Zopo machining centres to its portfolio. The restructuring positions the company for accelerated growth, improved operational efficiency, and ambitious future investment in technology and talent.
