You did the right thing to ask for your money back, if they cannot even sort out selling you the car, can you imagine how the aftersales would be there. Having worked in dealers for 30 years in the past, it is totally unacceptable.
Daniel looking stressed. He seems happiest in the yard on Saturdays..when its not flat out, and most of all hes not getting bombarded with bad news. Monumental mental fortitude to hold it all together..
@@Im_helpless I run a small business and struggle at times. He's built differently. But he's also in too deep. Once you end up with these overheads you have to get deeper and deeper to feed it. It's all about getting the right support in place.
Daniel i work on plant if u ever have issue with the compressor again honda gx engines u can get parts from hts spares or l&s engineering for parts with both doing next day delivery @@thisisashville
It’s so good to watch something on RUclips that has substance and real life problems instead of all these so called influences that don’t even teach people anything worth teaching. Dan keep up the hard work mate.
I like how Daniel has time to interact and have the crack with his staff, a lot of directors/upper management could learn from this, your workforce are the ones who are the money makers, without them the business is nothing.
On the LandRover topic, why has customer care just disappeared over the past few years? It use to be a case people would stick to their word and get problems sorted, now most customer involved companies don't give a damn and feel incompetence is the best way forward. Customer care has gone to shit and nobody seems to give a damn about it.
My friends had bought a new land rover nothing but problems, late delivery and been on the back of a breakdown truck more times than on the road, they now have handed it back and moved over to mercedes and loving it.
🤣🤣🤣 I love Daniel rants getting them off your chest with your audience is good because I definitely totally agree with you on everything you rant about because I’d feel the same way.
Cash at bank is fact but so is a 50 year lease. You have very good balance sheet asset's and with such colossal brand growth it's probably undervalued intangibles. Without seeing accounts it's hard to make this opinion but the next 50 year's is very promising for your business. If you are able to get favourable debt to complete yard it's the obvious option but great caution must be taken on over loading. Opening some equity would make sense as you get the cash without responsibility of repayment. I am sure many people would like a piece of the pie as your business looks prime for growth. Strong leader, brand and incredible lease. If you got the equity you then stand a greater chance of a more favourable loan as gearing would reduce. Hopefully this is explained correctly.
Possible stupid question, but with regard to offloading from the trains, if money is tight right now, why not build the offloading pit under the tracks before putting the tracks and concrete yard down (and instal conduit for power etc ) but do not build the above ground bit yet and carry on with offloading as you are currently, then when you have more money add the offloading mechanism and building
You need a screw compressor that a proper old thing that is and Micks right stick to Volvo never any problem the reason the gearbox is shot is pure LACK of maintenance, oh and you do need to slow down a bit and chill out before something goes Pop. You should ditch Land Rover for that issue, awful service is the norm from that company.
Coupled with land rover having the most stolen vehicle recently, then they treat you like this. No wonder they have such a bad reputation across the country. Crazy really considering the price of these things
Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett famously described EBITDA as "Bullshit earnings" - you should be careful on EBITDA-determined profitability. It's how many businesses have been burned or fallen prey to private equity (and gradually vanished after that).
Hey Daniel, I’ve been following your channel for some time now and it’s absolutely one of the best not only for construction information but entertainment value too. My wife and I live in Scotland and just this last week 30/05/24 we traveled to Fareham after buying our new day van (yes it’s black with a lovely pearl paint finish. Consider this for your trucks maybe) Anyway on our drive home I spotted one of your tipper truck on the M25 parking lot, it’s the first I’ve seen in the flesh and was so excited (bit like a boy on Christmas morning at 04:00 am just after Santa has left) My wife’s reaction 🙄, calm down calm down your 68 years old man. She just doesn’t get it. Love your channel and content and always the first search after clicking on to RUclips. Kind regards 🏴 PS I’m also in to trains and love to watch a class 37 on a cold start, a bull nosed Deltic beats a pointy nosed class 805 any day.
Hi Daniel,, have you ever done a feasibility study as in walk around the yard with a clip board and write down where you can improve things, processes, procedures ways of doibg things etc, rain water harvesting for wheel /truck washing,concrete mixing ,solar power, train all your staff to use every machine/piece of kit, train up lads to change tyres, maintenance etc, health n safety, first aid , have a bbq with the lads during the summer ,engage and explore new ideas/oportunites etc, a staff suggestion box perhaps, back up compressor, rent out a loading shovel while the liebherr gets repaired ,possibly buy /lease another materials handling machine to unload the trains and you wouod nt be in debt for 6 milliion quid plus you would have a spare machine if one decides to break down .anyhow keep going forward,love the videos thks 👍
There is only one you Daniel And Asheville and regardless what others say, stay who you are and be true to your self because that makes you unique! That’s where all your blessings are coming from! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Great video! Business is fair tough made even harder when you want to buy something as shown by Land Rover in this case..... you should definitely have walked away from them 😏 why didn't you buy from the lads that modified your current one/last one? ALSO what is that spare Loader your using.... a Deere or a Cat??
Morning Daniel, All, My heart goes out to you for the week you’ve had Daniel. Things can only get better. Land Rover… I’m lost for words - apart from weren’t Urban involved with your last/current purchase why not again in all aspects? What’s the latest update re. your back injury? Good news I hope. Do let us know. Thank you for this week’s episode. Have a great week ahead Daniel and All. Take Care😊❤
Good morning All,Daniel,you and O Donavan crack me up,my neighbours must think im mad lol😂 love the banter,the driver you was talking to,he looks like Bronson(didnt kniw they let him out) lol jokes btw.have a good day.
I own a company with around 40 staff in the north with sites scattered all over the And your right it’s hard to let someone take more responsibility and let go your self maybe it would work but I’m not ready to try either or ever will be unless it’s the sale of the company and I’m not financially tied to it
Dont go for Land rover anymore, ask for your money back and buy something else..... How about a Mercedes Benz X Class? Some things can not always go to plan, looks like Dan had a tough week.... 😮💨
How about a "sponsoring"-shirt? Instead of 25 £, you sell it for 35 £. Ten pounds are for the new yard....all you need is a catchy...sry...SERIOUS slogan AND and the possibility of international shipping. Was quite serious to get the umbrella transported to Germany...
Id ditch the land rover, like you said its supposed to be a fun process and they should make it easy, they taking your money and giving you a headache. Allow them get yanni to sort you something. New is overrated in this generation your car depreciates the second you sit in, there goes your hard earned money.
Good for you Ashley, tell land rover to stick their very overated bit of metal where the sun doesn't shine. There are plenty of vehicles just as good and far better.
Daniel likes trains right? Then he should give ssdt trains ( super self discharging trains ) a look. Is pretty cool and could very well be a solution to get aggragates into his yard.
Ashley, there is a piece called, sparkplug HELLACOIL, it's used by mechanics when spark plug threads are worn or damaged threads down in the port, it's rethreaded and replaced with HELLACOIL, same insert as the plug, comes in different sizes for various types of spark plugs,, love watching your videos every time, you are a hard grafter in your work ethics Michael power. ballycahane portlaw, county Waterford, South East Ireland
I wouldn't trust a man as far as I could kick him. Who is giving advice. Calls the man in the video the wrong name, and thinks it's called "hellacoil"😂😂 when it's helicoil!
THIS!!! Is why the last few BMW's / Audi's I've had have been ordered online and delivered! For me in the US its SO MUCH better! Local Dealers mostly work on the same mind set that they used 30 years ago! (Fuk-em!) :) Have a great day and thank you for posting the videos.
£5 million paid down over 10 years, £10k a week plus interest. And it’s not his yard. Fair enough 100 per cent tax write off. He’s 40 , with a 50 year lease. Can’t keep this pace up forever. Question, what’s the retirement plan, hope to sell lock stock and barrel to a large company, with say a 20 year lease. pass on to a younger generation, times running out for that, and good luck finding a lady with your work ethic. Note to self, when looking at commercial land, make sure to check the electric supply.
Even your mentor Michael o'wee donovan TOLD you 2 buy volvo danny boy, i'm FURIOUS you dont listen to us and now your SHOOK cos youve gotta pay the piper😢
Fam, JLR dealers are awful. Treat you like king when you are in the dealership buying, once its left that sales person you get treated like dirt on the mechanic shop floor! They really couldn't be asked. I put JLR staff just under insurance people in terms of coldness.
Well I guess this new Landy will be your last! Put it another way. If you messed your clients around like they didn't really matter that much, would you expect to get further custom from them? I guess you have far better things to do with your time than lock horns with a LR dealership but my word you have the patience of a saint Dan! Keep smiling!
Its best you go for Toyota. Buy a Land Cruiser or a Hilux 4 wheel drive. They are very strong cars, good for off road and construction use. Its been proven over and over again that a land cruiser can easily pull a loaded 36 ton horse and trailer.They will provide a much better service and will always meet your demands. Toyota is the way
Daniel going and telling Landrover to stick it could have been the best decision you made. Go and get a decent vehicle. The prestige of Landrover is long gone they are making unreliable pieces of crap nowadays and the dealerships attitude is just plain rotten.
You did the right thing to ask for your money back, if they cannot even sort out selling you the car, can you imagine how the aftersales would be there. Having worked in dealers for 30 years in the past, it is totally unacceptable.
There’s 500k of us subscribed… if we all chuck in £10 the new yard costs are solved… fair value for the amount of entertainment you’ve put out
I would be happy to do that, he deserves that for the awesome videos he creates for us
How do we send the cash?
If a go fund me could be set up by team ashville it would be awesome. Let's see how many people really support him! 👌
Tbh I'd drop a tenner, no charity just help a person out
Definitely not charity he deserves it. He’s helped me grow in my business
Not getting another Land Rover is a blessing in disguise big bro
Daniel looking stressed. He seems happiest in the yard on Saturdays..when its not flat out, and most of all hes not getting bombarded with bad news. Monumental mental fortitude to hold it all together..
Running a business especially a pretty big one like ashville is stressful, surprised he doesn’t look stressed more often
@@Im_helpless I run a small business and struggle at times. He's built differently. But he's also in too deep. Once you end up with these overheads you have to get deeper and deeper to feed it. It's all about getting the right support in place.
On the upside he's got friends such as Yanni, Michal O'Donovan and Foxy who likely have gone through this before.

Wow Land rover did you dirty
Why didn’t he buy from urban?
@GregsMowing cuz he buys fram land rover and then sends it to urban
Yep would have told them to FRO.
He said in a previous episode that he had another car on order too

ZF can refurb any of their gearbox or if you lucky have an exchange box a lot cheaper than the manufacturer.

you should buy Volvo wheel Loaders, I drove one and it had over 25,000hrs on the original transmission and engine
The amount of stress Daniel must be under is insane.
Big ups to you man💪💪

Exactly what i would do. Tell Land Rover to shuv it.
When you told them to refund your car purchase, I 👏
get a land cruiser. no nonsense reliability and practicality. suits you.
Not getting paid in the construction industry what a shock.
Fair play Dan your passing over your hard earned, Land Rover should be more professional.
