Duckworth Land Rover News
Hello Collective,
Just had a personal email from Dan at Duckworth Land Rover saying he moving on to pastures new. Very nice he is taking the time to contact some of us.
I just wanted to personally say good luck to him in his new venture. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him to source and ship a part to you. Outstanding attention to detail - never a part wrong.
Good luck Dan - you have big shoes to be filled.

Been over to Duckworths a few times and had help from Dan and his colleagues in Rasen and their other branch in Boston, always found everyone to be really helpfull.
Good luck with the new position Dan, hope the great service from Duckworths continues in the future

Hi Dan
Thanks for all your good works sorting various bits and pieces for my Freelander and then my Disco 4, never did get a sensible answer from LR re Waitomo grey touch up paint, but no matter now as the paint under the storage chip outlasted the crank!
Good luck in your new venture.
