About this listen

Welcome to the very first episode of the ICE Expo Podcast - where we lift the lid on construction and plant equipment!

In this inaugural episode, we sit down with Frank Smyth from FJS Plant to discuss his incredible journey in the construction equipment industry. From learning to drive tractors before he could ride a bike, to becoming a successful multi-brand dealer representing Kubota, Liugong, Furukawa, Marlo, and more.

Frank shares candid insights about:

  • Growing up around machinery and finding his passion
  • Winning apprentice competitions and building his reputation
  • The evolution of FJS Plant and taking on major agencies
  • Ireland's first electric excavator and the future of the industry
  • The challenges facing dealers today
  • His motorbike racing career and journey to completing an Ironman
  • Building a strong company culture and developing the next generation

This is a raw, honest conversation about life in the plant equipment business - the successes, the setbacks, and everything in between.
