To keep up with the high level of demand, as well as production of demonstrators for the increasing number of retailers selling the Ford Terrier, Wellhouse has invested £125,000 in new equipment for its factory and hired an additional 10 employees.  

David Elliott, managing director of Wellhouse Leisure, said: “We are delighted to have sold our 100th Terrier and, we’re also pleasantly surprised as we didn’t dare dream that we would reach this level of sales so quickly. The Terrier exceeded even our boldest sales forecasts thanks to its winning combination of high standard specification, great design and good value for money”.
