“We’ll first see how it goes in Scotland and then it’s our intention to take it right across the UK and then after that perhaps internationally.”
DR Alexander & Son, with bases in Caithness and Inverness, was set up in 1982 and is the main distributor of Ifor Williams Trailers in the area.
Managing director Mark Alexander said: “This has been a very nice order for us.”
