Barrus is pleased to welcome Brynley East back to the role of Area Sales Manager for the Marine Divisions

Following 16 years at Barrus, Brynley spent a year and a half at Mercury and MerCruiser dealer, MES Marine, as Workshop Manager. The role included rigging engines such as the new, ‘very impressive’ Mercury 200hp V6, in addition to servicing and repairing other brands of engines within the industry.

Brynley’s experience at Barrus was company-wide before he specialised in the Marine Divisions; first on the road as Service Engineer then a five-year stint as Area Sales Manager for the North.

“Barrus has always been a big part of my life – even before working for the company, as my step-mother worked in the Marine Diesel Division,” Brynley says.

Brynley will take up his post again as Area Sales Manager in the Northern region working with industry leading brands including Mariner and Mercury outboard engines and Yanmar diesel inboard engines.

Over the past 18 months, Barrus has seen huge success of the new Mercury V6 and V8 engine platforms and the most recent launch of the industry’s first 450hp outboard engine.

The Marine Divisions are now focused on developing Dealer Support programmes ahead of, and leading into, next season and Brynley’s combination of experience and knowledge will contribute to rolling this out.

“Brynley brings a great energy to the team and his enhanced industry knowledge will be a great addition to his skillset,” says Ben Allen, General Manager for the Marine Leisure Division, E. P. Barrus Ltd. “We’re looking forward to having him back!”
