Customer Story: Christophe and Mathilde Veldieu, Equip’+

Christophe Veldieu is the owner of Equip’+, a construction equipment rental company with 14 employees, including his daughter, Mathilde Veldieu. Christophe has been a long-time customer of Ritchie Bros.

Equip’+ is an equipment rental company based in the south of France, in Avignon, Rochefort du Gard, and Bagnoles-sur-Cèze. Equip’+ rents out hydraulic and mobile excavators, telescopic forklifts, scissor lifts, wheel loaders, crawler loaders, compactors, rollers, dump trucks, and other machines ranging from 2.5t to 40t. Their customers vary from construction businesses and regional governments (city halls, etc.) to entrepreneurs and individuals.

Mathilde Veldieu, Equip’+ Manager and Christophe’s daughter, has been working in the company for several years, dealing directly with Ritchie Bros. to purchase and sell used machinery via Ritchie Bros. auctions and IronPlanet.

Our experience with Ritchie Bros. has been very positive. First, when we sell a machine, we get an inspection that you make… We also enjoy the simplicity and the certainty of selling the machine.

Mathilde Veldieu appreciates how the Ritchie Bros. Operations and Sales teams perform the equipment inspection – by appraising a machine and establishing a price scale at which the customer can expect to sell their equipment.

I call Ritchie Bros., and I tell them the machine type, the brand, and the year of production. Then they receive the equipment and take care of the whole selling process. It’s very simple for us.

Using Ritchie Bros. services allows Mathilde and Christophe Veldieu to save time and focus on their core business, i.e., renting construction equipment.
