Following its appointment as an authorised distributor for Keysight Technologies in the UK, Microlease is investing more than £1million in staff, premises, stock and e-commerce capabilities. The appointment will allow Microlease to support and sell Keysight's complete product range, including thermal imaging instruments for the first time.
Microlease says three application engineers have been added, specifically to work with Keysight customers, while it has extended its warehouse to store and manage the new stock.
Nigel Brown, Microlease's CEO, said: "Microlease's commitment to a consultative approach was central to Keysight's decision to expand its relationship with us. We believe passionately that our role is to guide each customer to the right instrument for them and to make that instrument available to them based on the commercial model that best suits their needs. We have invested in the team to make that happen and are supporting them with a stock profile and an e-commerce capability to make dealing with Microlease quick, simple and convenient."
Keysight's 'Basic Instruments' range will be available for purchase directly from the Microlease website, whilst higher value equipment will have four options alongside purchase: rent; rent to buy; divide by 12; and lease.
In addition, Microlease offers an asset management service for test equipment, which includes compiling an inventory, taking responsibility for scheduled maintenance and calibration and disposing of surplus equipment.
