Perkins to open online webshop for UK customers

Following the successful launch of a web shop for its US customers, Perkins is to extend the format to other countries - and the next in line is the UK. By visiting www.perkins.com/shop, visitors can purchase parts or repair kits online for next day delivery, rather than make a journey to their nearest dealer or distributor. For large or complex components or assemblies, users will still need to purchase through their nearest Perkins distributor. The webshop will also include a ‘live chat’ capability.
