LE Went makes a splash into the boat market…

LE Went can now supply a range of polishes to restore faded paintwork and gelcoats to a high gloss finish with the minimum of effort. Many boat yards and boat owners use an automotive compound to do this, but LE Went have teamed up with leading manufacturer Farecla UK, to promote their range of ‘Profile’ compounds and polishes designed specifically for boats.

Paul Heywood of Farecla says “We are excited to be able to take Profile to the market with LE Went. With the correct products and know-how we have overcome the problems normally associated with this task, to give a long lasting shine.”

For a limited time, LE Went are offering a start-up kit of polishes and compounds at promotional prices. Phone the branches or use the ‘Contact’ page on this website to get more details.

Two new Area Sales Managers for LE Went

Two well-known and incredibly experienced Area Sales Managers have been appointed by South-East paint and equipment distributor LE Went Ltd.

Dave Charker joins with over 30 years experience at 3M and Tom Rehill after some 20 years with Brown Brothers.

“Retaining high levels of service whilst adapting to the demands of the industry has been a significant challenge, but one that LE Went Ltd has risen to”, says sales director Brian Heritage. “Although 2009 has certainly been one of the trade’s toughest years, by continually striving to be the best we are winning through. This year alone we have joined the highly regarded UPD organisation, have established ourselves as PAS125 compliant, launched a new website and now the icing on the cake is to have Dave and Tom on board”.

Formed in 1963, LE Went currently has branches in New Malden and Croydon, and maintains twice-daily deliveries of leading brands of paint and consumables to car refinish, commercial vehicle, general industrial and wood finishing customers throughout the South East.
